1. My roommate is all savvy with her online banking, and I just swipe my debit card and pray I haven’t spent all of my money on tacos.
El Maguey is on my September bank statement 14 times. I’m not even ashamed.
2. Starbucks is starting to make a serious dent in my bank account.
I found a recipe for their Chai Tea Latte on Pinterest. We all have to make sacrifices.
3. At some point in my life, I’m going to need to learn to dye my own hair.
If I can’t even pronounce the word “balayage,” how am I supposed to do it to myself?
4. Which do I need more? New booties from Forever 21, or groceries?
Booties. Always the booties.
5. I can never set a foot in Pottery Barn again.
Or Home Goods, or Anthropologie, or anywhere that sells candles.
6. I need to learn to cook.
$20 for Chinese takeout? Um, no thank you. Is there a cookbook that specializes in cooking for 1? And only using a microwave?
7. Shopping in a friend’s closet is better than a store because it’s free.
Women are thieves. If you let a friend you do not live with borrow your dress (or other clothing/shoe/makeup item), don't expect to ever see it again. That being said, Ashley, you are never getting your cardigan back. Accept it.
8. Walmart’s Great Value brand isn't that bad.
There go my hopes of being a fabulous, all-organic, Whole Foods-exclusive shopper. But spending less money on food means I can buy more shoes, so…
9. Going out is actually really expensive.
But Netflix is only $7.99 a month. Who needs human conversation and social interactions when soon I will have every episode of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. at the push of a button?
10. Central heating, and showering everyday are unnecessary.
I'll just steal a few extra blankets from my parent's house. They'll never notice.
