Only shopaholics know that shopping is a real hobby. Shopping is the best past time and theres nothing we would rather do than shop to our hearts content. So heres how you can tell if you truly are a shopaholic or if you just enjoy shopping.

1. You spend most of your time looking up things to buy on the internet.


You are constantly scrolling through the vast array of items being sold at your favorite stores. You like to be the first to scope out all the new hot items at your favorite shop. Most people are stuck scrolling through their social media feed while you are scrolling through online store websites.

2. You have lots of things in your closet that still have a tag on them.


You shop so much you probably have a bunch of items that are unworn or unused and still have tags on them. Still, you seem to buy more things! It's never ending, and you can not have more than enough clothes, shoes, purses, watches, whatever your heart desires!

3. You buy things you do not really need.


Theres a huge difference between things you really need and things you want. Most of the time, if you are a shopaholic, you spend your earnings on things you want. You could totally live without most of the things you purchase, but do you really want to? No. Life is better with all the things you want!

4. Emotions drive your spending habits.


When you're happy, you shop. When you're sad, you shop. When you get mad, you shop. Whatever emotion you are feeling, it most likely leads to you wanting to go make a sweet purchase.

5. Spending gives you an adrenaline rush.


You feel so alive when you buy something you really want. Especially when its a big purchase you have been saving up for or if you get a really good deal on an item you have been eyeing for a long time.

6. Some days you just get the urge to buy something.


Sometimes you just cant help but really want to go out and make a purchase. Something inside of you makes you feel like you need to buy something, anything, even if its something super small and cheap.

7. You always have something sitting in your checkout cart.


Anytime you go to your favorite store's website, you can bet there is probably something already sitting in your cart waiting for checkout.

8. You constantly track your packages.


It is like a strange addiction. You are always checking your phone to see if your tracking number reads delivered yet or you are checking how far your package is from being delivered to your door.

9. When one package arrives, you start waiting for another.


Once a package is delivered, you know it's time to start waiting for another or if there is no other package to wait for it's time to buy something so you have a package to await.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
