After bringing a magazine to class, and looking through other magazines I realized what a complete waste they are. I used to love getting magazines, dream about all the things I wanted in them and yes I'll admit it I desired to look like those darn models sometimes too.
Now, as I turn each page I think how ridiculous it was to be spending $4 on something so well boring. The "women's" magazines don't have anything interesting to read and they all basically have the same info written differently. I would rather spend $4 on coffee than another magazine. Typically, I think people got ideas from magazines, all the pictures and the colors gave them inspiration for whatever they were looking for. Now we have the wonderful online pinboard called "Pinterest" (if you haven't checked this website out, you should). I am not going to go into detail about all things pinterest, but to put it simply. It has everything. Recipes, archtecture, clothing, colors, ideas without any worthless articles.
Although I used to flip through magazines when I was younger, I now know that if I want something I can: 1) look online 2) just go to a store and poke around 3) buy a cup of coffee and use my own brain to come up with something creative.
