Hipster Games

Alright. Well guys. It might possibly be another Sunday night where I have a good couple hours of reading to do for my classes tomorrow. And I might be taking a break from Facebook--I mean, studying to write this post. Okay wait, yes. I really meant a break from Facebook, and Pinterest, annnnnd also online shopping--because I mean, it's so exhausting keeping up with all these social media sites these days.

And yeah, so what if I just bought myself a new pair of Ray-Bans when I saw that Coastal was having an amazing sale on them tonight? I was really online only browsing and had no intention of buying, but as I clicked on a cute black pair a message alerted me that they had just sold out of the frame that very moment. And what can I say?! I panicked. Isn't that how all online shopping goes?



Suddenly in my head I was picturing a million hipsters online madly placing orders like there was no tomorrow. I also briefly might have pictured them fighting for a pair all hunger games style in their skinny jeans and Tom's while simultaneously instagramming the whole thing. But if questioned about that I will definitely deny it.

But please for visual aid... meet the newest stars of The Hipster Games. I don't know about you but I think I'll sponsor the "Document of the Dead" guy.



So anyway, I did what any true Ray-Ban admirer would have done, and not to mention did.

I ran downstairs like there was a fire, reassured my startled family that I was fine as I ran around looking for my purse like a lunatic--in the very least, a Ray-Ban sale loving lunatic. I'm pretty sure I ran around faster than I've run all week--let's be honest-- so extra points for the cardio. Do you think that counts as part of my interval training??

Anyway, credit card found. Order placed. And well, chalk up a win to the awkward runner over here for procrastinating her homework and beating out all those overeager online hipsters from buying out all the Ray-Bans.

Although, I might be experiencing a little shopping guilt right about now. So in an effort to pretend like its okay to have made that impulse buy even though I have a major tuition bill due next week I will change the subject.
