Being a college student can make costume-shopping somewhat of a dilemma; the main one being finding money to pay for the costume. Last semester, my friends and I needed to purchase Holloween costumes (Marilyn Monroe and Jackie Kennedy, but that's another story) but had little money to do so. A trip to Goodwill was in store, and after this, many other trips followed for other random items of necessity. As Jess tried o
n a pencil skirt that was marked down to $2, I browsed the t-shirt section. This is where I found heaven. I am a person of randomness, if this was not obvious yet. I skimmed the "small" section and found an old softball t-shirt that said "electric city conservatory" on the front and the number eleven on the back. Amazing! The more I looked, the more random shirts I found, all at around $3 each. Another one purchased says "Bob's Marine Service" and the number ten. As of today, I own three softball shirts (all of businesses in GF). I also have an "avoid contact with trees" (snowbarding stick figure), "vote for ME" (gf high student body election shirt), and a "when Idaho potatoes go bad" (potato with a gun). Since this fettish, my friend Sarah brought me back four from Ohio. These include a marching band one and an athletic shirt once belonging to a Randy Foster. How do I know this? His name is written in marker on the front in the space, just like Napoleon Dynamite. There is also a basketball one and, my personal favorite, is the Cambell County Fighting Camels P.E. shirt. Now, everytime I pass Goodwill or go in, I need to browse the shirt section just in case there is that little treasure that someone is hiding.

Is it a power to find these treasures? Yes. Yes it is.
