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!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.

The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
