20 Thoughts Shopping Addicts Have Even If Their Bank Account Balance Is, Like, $20.20

In This Article:

I will be the first person to admit that I may have a slight shopping problem… OK more like a lot, but who's keeping track anyways?

I know that I am not alone though in my self-diagnosis as a shopaholic. I am sure that there are plenty of other compulsive buyers out there.

I mean I don't have several credit cards like Rebecca Bloomwood in Confessions of a Shopaholic, but I defiantly know that I have a hard time saying no to myself when I see something randomly.

That being said, here are 20 things that all shopaholics have thought before.

1. Do I really need that?

This is that question that you ask yourself when you are trying to control yourself.

 2. No, no I don’t

You think this when you are trying to talk yourself out of getting something.

 3. Actually, yes I do

But then you realize how foolish you are being and that you do indeed need that item.

4.  Oh my gosh just look at that

This is what you say every time you see something that you know you just can't go home without.

5. I’ve never needed anything more in my life than I do this

How did you even live without it before?

 6. This could have a ton of uses! I would use this all of the time!

 7. It’s basically an investment

I mean you are going to use it all the time!

 8. OK, so I don’t really have the money to buy this right now…

That sad moment that every shopaholic has unless your one of the Kardashian/Jenners.

  9. But it may be gone before I can come back and get it. I’m getting it.

10. This just feels so right

The mall is your home.

11. Walking out with tons of shopping bags is the best feeling. Why don’t I do this more often?

12. Wait, I NEED that!

Just as you are trying to leave something always has to catch your eye.

 13. I don’t even know where this money is coming from

14. But does it really matter?

YES! Yes it does!

We are masters at deceiving ourselves.

15. I can’t stop thinking about that one thing I walked by 5 minutes ago. I have to get it.

16. This is honestly destiny. This was made for me.

Destiny I tell you!

17. Wait why is my balance below $25?

You think that someone must have stolen your credit card or something. That couldn't have been your fault.

 18.  OK, my bank account is crying

Literally.

19. I need to stop doing this

20.  But it just feels so good.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
