    The Emotional Rollercoaster Of Back-To-School Shopping

    Back-to-School shopping is both the best and the worst. EVER.

    August is coming to an end, and Fall is around the corner. So, instead of trying to speed-read your way through your summer reading list, you focus on the silver lining: SHOPPING. New year = new outfits. The hunt for the perfect outfit begins NOW.

    You start out super excited, cause, you know, SHOPPING!



    You get to your first store. It's awesome. You're gonna look super fine in all this s**t.


    The music is loud, and you're shopping to the beat.


    You're having so much fun, you don't even care your mom is sitting in the corner on the parent/boyfriend couch all like


    When you cannot possibly carry more clothes, it's off to the dressing rooms! And, here's where it all falls apart.

    The first thing you try on is either:
    a) too trendy


    or

    b) too small

    WHY. WON'T. THIS. FIT?!

    You brush it off, you've still got hours left in the day and plenty more stores ahead.


    You find something cute in the summer sales, SCORE. Cheap and adorable, it's a winner!!!


    But, your mom says it's too sexy for school. And you're just like


    She picks something out for you, but you're so not feeling it


    One hour later you have found absolutely nothing and you're starting to scare your fellow shoppers.


    Snack break! All your attempts at eating light pre-shopping have failed. F***K IT.
    Those Cinnabons won't eat themselves.


    And...you're back. This time, by some miracle, you finally find THE ONE. The perfect back-to-school outfit. It says you're hot, it says you're smart, and it says you're the s**t.


    So, rock those outfits, peeps!

    And, remember girls, don't give up when you realize all the clothes at Abercrombie & Fitch are made for girls who have yet to hit puberty. Just peace out, and say goodbye to all the naked models on the walls, your perfect outfit awaits.


    FIERCE.
