spring break and online shopping

SPRAAAANG BREAK YA'LLL


Ahh Spring Break you are so close yet so far and I neeed you. I need James Franco with a grill and corn rows rapping about champaign showers and outer space, I yearn for it. The talk of spring break plans can be heard all over Rutgers, students planning their bon voyage to different states, all of which lead to warmth and alcohol.. and more alcohol. While others are planning their reckless trips to Panama City Beach and Miami, I'm over here planning what will most likely be the most insane trip of my life to Vegas. Selena Gomez like friends will not be partaking in this trip and neither will roofies (fingers crossed). I want to wake up with a tiger in the bathroom and I want to wear a satchel like Indiana Jones.



Everyday that a new order from Tobi or DSW shows up at my office, its like Christmas and my debit card is tapped out. Although this is my first official spring break trip, I'd like to think I'm a professional when it comes to online shopping, especially considering all of my purchases have been on point, except for the Victoria's Secret bikini top, but that was a gamble to begin with.

SIDE NOTE: Just witnessed someone in my class on my Facebook profile who I have never met. SURPRISE IM IN YOUR CLASS. I feel weird, and this person is going to feel weird when they turn around and see my face... moving on..

Here are my online shopping tips for you gals going away on Spring Break with a 50/50 chance coming back the same way you left.


1. Check your current inventory.
Nothing sucks more than having 3 of the same black body con skirts from 3 different stores. Chances are something will go wrong, wardrobe wise, on this vacation. Save that money for beer and french fries(you'll need them) and use the one you have.

2. Check the weather as soon as you have access for the dates you're going.
If the high temperature for the entire trip is going to be 65 degrees (its still March) don't go purchasing clothing thats meant for 90 degree weather, you'll be cold and sad. Mainly drunk, but also cold and sad.

3. Don't ever underestimate the power of coupons.
You can google the name of the store with the word "coupons" after it and you'll most likely find a deal you wouldn't have otherwise found. Oh the power of the internet.

4. Location. Location. Location.
Where are you going and what is the likely hood that you'll be using that $40 V-neck for a wet T-shirt contest? If you're going anywhere that involves pool parties and $2 margaritas, please PUT DOWN the J.Brand tank top and walk on over to H&M, your wallet and future self will thank you.

5. Check the reviews.
Holy Moly the money I've saved and mistakes I've avoided are endless all because of the wonderful review section. I consider everyone who posts a review about whatever I'm contemplating purchasing  a true friend and patriot. If there's no section for product reviews buy with caution unless you want to purchase two of the same thing, which face it, NO ONE WANTS TO DO THAT. Heels are hard enough to deal with, add the fact that they're a half size too small and you'll end up in a wheel chair or dead.


Lastly, have a wonderful time. 
Don't get roofied and don't decide to conclude your time away by killing James Franco, he's precious.



Uhh I'm posting this video because I will be seeing him in 5 days!
