Reasons To Get Involved With Online Buying And Selling

At least give it a try!

5
Reasons To Get Involved With Online Buying And Selling

1. You have room for more

Deciding what you wear and what you don't need becomes a lot easier because you get a profit from what you decide to sell. Making it much easier to fit more into your closet.

2. No need to use your hard earned money for new items

With the profit you make from selling your old unwanted items, you can purchase new items that you will get much more use out of.

3. You do not need to bring your clothes to a shop that will buy them for much less

Such as Plato's Closet, where you will get 75 cents for a shirt that is new with tags still attached that say $180 (yes that did happen to me).

4. You will make new friends

I have several different shopping apps on my phone, Mercari, Poshmark, Tradesy, Wanelo, and many more! The relationships I have made with some of the sellers are very strong and I continue to buy from them because I know the items will arrive in wonderful condition everytime!

5. Expensive brands for less

You quickly learn the deals and what is worth the buy and how quickly you need to buy before someone else. I have found brand new $400 purses for around $50!

6. You can shop whenever, wherever

You connect with others around the world at anytime! Say you work nights, so you sleep in the daytime. On your days off you can still shop when you're the only one up at 2-5 AM! In bed, on the train, in the coffee shop, even while you're driving! (Please, don't do that though, it is illegal).

7. You become familiar with the brands you like, and your sizes

Have you ever been asked by someone in a store, "can you please check my tag and see what size I am in jeans." It happens often to me, (mainly when I'm with my mom haha). I know exactly what size I am in almost everything, and I can refine my searches to my sizing so if I see something I like, I know I am not looking at something I can't have, because that's always a let down!

8. It's a free job

You do not need to fill out an application, or be a male, female, or any specific race. Everyone is accepted and everyone has a free chance to earn money!

There are many, many more reasons why you should online shop! Start downloading the apps, and at least give it a try! :)

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
