Online Shopping

I think it's pretty amazing what the web can do today. Just the other day, when it was really windy out, I regretted not buying that Coach hat that was on sale. I got the gloves and scarf, but I figured I wouldn't wear the hat. Boy was I wrong! I really wanted that hat. In earlier years, it would have been "too bad," now I just signed on to EBay and looked it up to buy it online. A week later, I had the exact same hat that I saw at the Coach Outlet Store. Amazing! Another example would be my sister. She loves some lipgloss from Wal Mart. Well, they stopped selling it. A week later, she had her lipgloss. All thanks to EBay.

I am a huge online shopper. Anything I need, I will find to buy online. I sell stuff online as well so it's a win win situation. Recently, I've been using Amazon for my textbooks. You would not imagine how much I save on college textbooks from buying them online. It's a great resource we have that we should definitely take advantage of. I know I don't want to spend all my money on books. Do you? 

**Go check out EBay and Amazon and start saving today! You will love it.**

Online Classes

I have taken a couple of online classes in the past two years of college. I am still undecided if they are better then traditional classes or not. There are a lot or pros and cons, from my point of view. Last summer, I took three online classes, one of them being finite math. The other two classes were children's literature and child development. Math was definitely the toughest from the three. A couple cons about taking online classes is that you don't have an instructor to turn to whenever you have a question. You can email him or her but it doesn't mean you will get your answer right away. I also feel like work is put off until last minute because you know you have all the time in the world to do it, unlike if you in class working on it with the instructor and students. Even though those could two cons could stress you out, there are pros on online classes as well. I think some pros of online classes are that you don't have to wake up at eight in the morning to go to class. You can work on your own pace, even though there are dates things need to be turned in. You are aware of those and you work at your own convenience. Another pro for online classes is the comfort of working from your bed in your pajamas. You don't have to leave your house at all, you can work on your homework while eating a meal or watching your favorite reruns.

GoogoBits and Ezine Articles are websites that I took a look at that talk about pros and cons. Check them out and maybe it will help you decide if you want to take online classes in the future or not! Good luck!
