1. Iphone 4s

 Ever since 7th grade I really wanted an iPhone. I was tired of the slide out keyboard phone and everybody was getting one. I begged and begged for about a year but my parents weren’t convinced. After eighth grade I had finally convinced my parents to get me one. We went over to best buy and got one. I had a choice of any smartphone but an iPhone was the obvious choice. Now it’s taken over my life.

2. Uggs

I had really wanted a pair of uggs for the longest time, but my parents didn’t want to spend such an amount of money on a pair of boots when I could get the same style knock offs for cheap. I was told I had to save my money but that’s really hard to do. After asking for them for my birthday and not getting them I decided to hold off. After asking for them for Christmas and not getting them I decided to get them. Using my Christmas money I went out and bought them feeling proud of myself for saving some of my money and adding my Christmas money and buying them on my own.

3. Desk

Over the summer I wanted to make my room more mature and ready for high school so I went over to Ikea to look around. After hours in the huge 2-3 story building, I came home with a desk. Me and my mom had to build it ourselves with the instruction guide it came with. Overall this is one of the biggest purchases I’ve made and one that I use everyday. It adds to my room and helps me organize my school work.

4. Laptop

-In the summer of 2013 I got a laptop. High school was about to start and my family didn’t have a desktop computer. One of my friends had just gotten a new laptop and I really liked hers. My family told me I could get one so I went out to best buy and bought a Samsung Windows 8. I use it for school almost every day and I’m really glad I did because I love it. This is definitely one of the big purchases I made in 2013.

5. Miss Me’s

After receiving a pair of miss me’s in 2012 for Christmas, I soon fell in love with the jeans. They weren’t  only in fashion, but they were super comfortable. When I grew out of them in the summer,I ended up selling them. I was bummed but when school started I got three pairs! This was a bigger purchase for me since they range in different prices. Now I can’t get enough of them and even convinced my mom into buying a pair. This is definitely a piece of clothing you will always find in my closet.
