@tjmaxx on Instagram

1. "I can never have enough mugs"

Valid point.

2. "$12.99??? Originally $64??? How could I NOT???""

What a steal.

3. I NEED this stuff

Three sweaters, five candles, four pairs of fuzzy socks AND a new bathrobe. Yea. Sure you do.

4. "Everything's on sale so really I'm saving money"

Are you though?

5. "So many candles. I can't just get one"

They all smell sooooo gooooddd, clearly we need 10.

6. "How is this bra only $3.99?? I'm buying 5."

Probably could have gotten away with just one.

7. "Oooo face masks"

Why not?

8. "This painting will look great on my dorm wall"

Yea but what are you going to do with it after graduation???

9. "I should have brought my mom to stop me"

Nothing can save me now.

10. "This sweater was originally $200 but now it's $50 so it's worth it right?"

No. Probably not.

11. "This brand-name makeup is weirdly cheap" throws in cart anyway

Worth a try.

12. "Where can I put this pillow?"

You can figure that out later.

13. "You can never have too many blankets"

Facts.

14. "This toddler outfit is waaayyy too cute, who has a baby I can buy this for?"

Put it back.

15. "A girl can never have too many notebooks/stationary sets"

Yes. Yes she can.

16. "How did this happen?"

You tell me.

17. "I should have gotten a cart"

Bad move.

18. "This box of chocolate says it's GOURMET. I'm so fancy. "

*eye roll*

19. "All of this can't be more than like $50 right?"

Can you even do math?

20. "I'll just put one thing back"

Like that makes a difference.

21. "I don't even want to check my bank account after this"

It's fine. We're fine. Everything's fine.

22. "Why does this always happen??"

YOU ONLY HAVE YOURSELF TO BLAME.

Happy shopping everyone! May you find all the good deals and only hate yourself a tiny bit after you check out.

Anticipating The End Of Your First Semester, As Told By April Ludgate

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

National Writers Society

NBC Universal

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

No matter how old you are.

1. Build a snowman

2. Start a snowball fight

3. Build a fort

4. Binge-watch Netflix

4. Look out the window

5. Grab coffee with a friend

6. Complete school or office work

7. Sleep

8. Read a book

9. Bake cookies

10. Drink hot cocoa

11. Go ice skating

12. Take a Walk

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

1. When you look at the syllabus and realize there are only three weeks of the semester left; even though the first day was LITERALLY yesterday.

2. You look at your grades and realize they probably aren't as high as they should be, which is a terrifying realization.

3. When you think to yourself at night, "tomorrow, I will wake up early and go to the library ALL day, and, hell, maybe after I'll go to the gym for a little bit, just to push myself that extra mile."

4. Tomorrow actually comes. The inevitable and overpowering sense of procrastination is too strong to overcome.

5. But you DO end up going to the library. Not all day though, but still, a while. But no, you do not go to the gym. Still, you made an effort, so you decide to treat yo' self.

6. When you realize you need to schedule a meeting with your adviser because you need to sign up for classes next semester. But you also realize that since you waited until the last minute, you're going to get stuck with all of the crappy classes.

7. When you low-key try to slip into conversation with your professors that you need extra credit because you're that desperate.

8. When it's already the third time you've seen your adviser in two days because you have no damn clue what you're doing and need all the help you can get.

9. When you apply for a job associated with your major even though you have no experience, but you just want to dive headfirst into the deep end of adulthood and get it over with.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

We all have that "I don't care" attitude.

1. Most students just take life day by day.

2. That means procrastinating, one day at a time.

3. College students don't mind dressing like crap sometimes.

4. In fact, dressing nice feels weird.

5. College students get so stressed that they contemplate dropping on a daily basis.

6. But most find another solution to deal with that stress.

7. And that solution can be pretty cheap. Anything over $5 is expensive.

8. One of the only things college students will spend money on is coffee.

9. College is just really expensive and you never forget how expensive it is.

10. But hey, we're getting a somewhat high-quality education, right?

11. We all really just want to pet dogs all day.

12. And eat pizza for every meal.

13. And stab the next person who asks us what we want to do with our life.

14. However, despite the stress and student loans, college is amazing and there's plenty of reasons to smile.

Thank you, April, for inspiring us with your wicked relatability.

11. "This brand-name makeup is weirdly cheap" throws in cart anyway
