The 9 Stages Of Going To Homegoods, TJ Maxx, and Marshalls For Every Broke College Girl

In This Article:

Like most other ladies my age, I LOVE a good shopping trip. Do I want to redecorate my room or find some new stationery? Off to Homegoods, I go. Am I feeling like getting a new outfit (or twenty)? Off to check the racks of TJ Maxx and Marshalls. These stores have it all for way less than other stores. If you can't find it at Homegoods, TJ Maxx or Marshalls, it doesn't exist.

Here are the 9 stages every lady has experienced while shopping at Homegoods, TJ Maxx, and Marshalls:

Entering the store

You never really go to these stores with something in particular in mind. It's best (and maybe a little dangerous) to go in with an open mind. You never know what you'll find!

But you end up buying new chinaware, chairs and a table.

"Ooooh! Food!"

While Homegoods, TJ Maxx and Marshalls may not have sales, they do have a great clearance section!

You always seem to find a few extra purchases through the line. And who could forget the bags!

You pull out your TJX Rewards Credit Card and purchase all of your newfound treasures. While these stores may not have sales, the everyday prices are low, so your bill is not even close to what it'd be if you paid full price for anything.

Of course I needed a new notebook, felt letter board and throw pillow!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
