A List Of Holiday Gifts You Do Not Want

9
An Avocado...Thanks

My friends and I were discussing the topic of holiday gifts you do not want, so I made a list.

1. Body spray from a pharmacy or 99 cents store.

This is definitely something that I’m sure you aren’t pleased with when you receive it.

2. School Supplies.

During the holidays no one wants to think about nor deal with school. Finals and tests are over so school supplies for the holidays aren’t ideal.

3.Socks.

Unless it is fuzzy or cozy holiday socks then I have to say nay.

4. Popcorn tin.

Don't get me wrong they are great to have in the house but to receive as a gift, that is just wrong.







5. Gift card to a chicken spot.

Kennedy Fried Chicken, Popeyes, and KFC are great places but please don’t give a gift card from any of these places.

6. A toothbrush.

A toothbrush as a gift….definitely a no.

7. Re-gifted clothes.

No, nope, no thank you.

8. Used makeup.

I honestly don’t think anyone would gift that but if you received used makeup as a present, I am very sorry.

9. A plant.

Not the best gift to receive and not the worst but definitely not at the top of the list.

10. A gift card to a store you haven’t shopped in since junior high.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
