The 10 Stages of a Shopping Experience at The Buckle

We all feel this way.

The 10 Stages of a Shopping Experience at The Buckle
Buckle Corporate

When I walk into the mall, I can kid myself by trying to shop other places, but I know I will eventually end up at Buckle. It is easily my favorite store. While others may not appreciate Buckle as I do, these are 10 stages of shopping that every Buckle customer can relate to.

1. Spotting the Store

Once you have made eye contact, you’re committed. Before you can stop yourself, you're inside Buckle.

2. The Overwhelm

Suddenly your eyes are trying to take in all the beautiful things: the shoes, jeans, jewelry, tops and all the layered outfits. Before your hands can begin to attack the perfectly arranged displays, it hits you.

3. The Realization

You want it all. You want every piece of clothing in this store. Buckle needs to be your closet.

4. The Rescue

After going through half a dozen emotions in the span of about 30 seconds, you’re undoubtedly greeted with conversation by a Buckle employee. They have come to help you.

5. The Dressing Room

In a short amount of time, you’ll find yourself with an outfit or eight gleaming on their hangers, and of course they look even better on. You’ve probably never seen such a perfect outfit before, or even knew that something so beautiful existed. The bigger problem is the clothes will just keep getting tossed over the door until you cannot handle the overload of perfect clothing any longer.

6. The Cutoff

There comes a point where you just can’t try cute clothes on any longer.

7. The Counseling

You’ll ask yourself, “Do I really need all this?” Reality says no, but because you are blinded by love, you accept that you need everything in the dressing room.

But wait...

8. The Depression

You decide to look at the price tags for the first time, and you remember that you’re broke.

9. The Checkout

You convince yourself that you can afford one or two of your favorites.

10. The Layaway

And then you’ll just put the rest on layaway because you know you’ll be back to Buckle anyways.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
