The Emotional Stages Of Online Shopping
http://www.sweetshortandstylish.com

Online shopping is arguably one of everybody's favorite activities. It's the best of both worlds. You get to look at clothes all day without ever having to leave you bed. Who doesn't love that? However, it's clear that a roller coaster of emotions comes along with online shopping. We have to deal with the stress of our favorite clothes being out of stock, the sadness that comes along with our shopping cart being too expensive and the anticipation of waiting for our new clothes to arrive. Here are the emotional stages of online shopping that we all know way too well.

1. Excitement

You've saved up enough money and decide it's time for an online shopping spree! So many websites to choose from and the best part is that you never have to get out of bed!

2. Stress

You started off strong, but your fingers are starting to hurt from all of the scrolling and clicking, and you don't know how you're supposed to go through another 15 pages of clothing. Plus, you have so many tabs of clothing open that your computer is starting to slow down. Help!

3. Determination

You push through because you know there is a huge chance that your future favorite shirt will be on the last page. You have to finish strong!

4. Panic

You finally finished looking at every single article of clothing on the website so it's time to look at your cart. Panic sets in when you realize you added way too much clothing and you can't pay for all $2,000 of it.

5. Acceptance

It's time to sort through your cart and remove everything you don't actually need. I know it's hard. You don't want to hurt the clothes' feelings, but you can do it!

6. Pride

You did it! Now that you've successfully sorted through an entire website of clothing, it's time to treat yourself. You deserve it.

7. Anticipation

You can't stop tracking your package online. You already have all of your new outfits planned out and can't wait until the package arrives at your door.

8. More Excitement

Your new clothes have finally arrived! Cheers to yet another successful online shopping spree. Until next time!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
