The Actual Thoughts Of A True Shopper

If shopping was a sport, I'd have a gold medal. Instead, I just have gold jewelry.

The Actual Thoughts Of A True Shopper
Lindsey Pyatt

Shopping — my favorite activity, hobby and sport. Yes, I just called shopping a sport. In my opinion, one can be "good" at shopping, just as he or she can be skilled or "good" at baseball and soccer. With that being said, there are most definitely people that do not excel in the shopping field just like the people who don't hit it off on the field. Aside from a few good drives in golf, let's say my best skill, "athletically," is picking pieces from here and there to put together. I mean, we could technically call this math too it's basically addition. A true shopper often has similar thoughts while "practicing," which is why it is good to be aware, but not always necessary to listen to them.

The Conversation Every True Shopper Has In Their Head (in order)

You: This is so cute.

Your head: Is it cute or is it AHHHHMAZING?

You: AHHHHMAZING. For sure. I mean, look at it.

You again: I need this. Like it's necessary.

Your head: No, no you have it in black. Stay strong.

You: The same item just means consistency.

Your head: Your bank WILL HATE you, I promise.

You: I'll skip dinner this week!

Your head: We both know that's a lie.

*finds another item*

You: Oh my gosh this is to die for.

Your head: Seriously stop. Like why am I even here?

You: I didn't ask you to come.

Your head: Don't you dare.

*Swipe*

You: I got both. Don't feel like you have to come next week- I get along just fine without you.

Now, if my bank account actually let me get both every time, that would be a dream. But I would be skipping lots of dinners. Some call it debt, I call it "building credit"? (totally kidding!!!) (kind of). I will certainly admit that this sport is one of my favorite things to do, and I know I'm not alone because if I were, I'd always be best dressed (and I'm not).

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
