I love to shop online. I am a total sucker for a good sale and no matter how hard I try, before I know it I am back on the same website checking out the "new arrivals" for the third time. There is just something about having an entire store at your fingertips - the power goes to my head. There is just one problem: I am a broke college kid who debates spending money at a grocery store. While I know it is wrong, online shopping just feels so right, and there is no harm in looking... although we all know it doesn't stop there. Here is a rundown of the daily struggles of a broke college student shopaholic.
1. Getting the email that your favorite store is having a 50% off sale
2. Trying to resist the urge to cheer as you see all the beautiful pages of clothes
3. Adding everything to your basket all at once because you just. can't. stop.
4. Feeling the gut punch as you see the price at the bottom of your basket
5. Bringing yourself back down to reality because, after all, you are a broke college kid who just ate ramen for all three meals today
6. The internal battle between your heart and your bank account over that suede jacket that just already feels so right
7. Finally getting the total down to a number that will allow you to afford food
8. Feeling the rush when you click the "place order" button
9. Relaxing in satisfaction of a job well done.
But wait... is that another sale?
