Are the holidays really happy when you have to deal with angry, peppy, and annoying shoppers? Whether you shop for the holidays early or the night before Christmas Eve, you are bound to run into these 10 types of crazy. Good luck and "may the odds be ever in your favor."

1. The Grinch

This shopper is not into the hustle and bustle of Christmas shopping. They find the whole process irritating and were probably bribed into going shopping. Stay out of their lane.

2. The Cheapskate Shopper

This shopper is the person who only buys something when it is on sale. They will do anything to save as much money as possible during the holidays. If they had the choice, they wouldn't buy any presents.

3. The Overly Happy Shopper

This shopper is the woman decked out in Christmas attire and makes sure to express her feelings about Christmas to all the random people she meets. She is very cheerful no matter what time of the day it is and you will always hear her humming to a holiday tune.

4. The Big Spender

This shopper isn't shy about how wealthy they are. They will spend an insane amount of money just to shower their beloved in gifts. Their goal is to impress family and friends with their gift choices, rather than finding something tiny and personal that would have more meaning.

5. The Perfectionist

Everything this shopper does has to be perfect and over-the-top. They contemplate over a person's gift for several minutes and weigh the pros and cons of it. They will go to any length to make sure their friends and family get the best gifts that this shopper can find.

6. The Last Minute Shopper

This shopper swore last December 23rd to get a head start on next year's Christmas shopping and here they are doing last minute shopping again and now they are scrambling to gather what they can and call it a "gift."

7. The Online Shopper

The online shopper, aka the smart shopper. Why wait in lines when you can sit in your pajamas and shop from your couch? This person is the efficient shopper and is the one with the least amount of stress during the holidays.

8. The DIY Gift Maker

This person values homemade personal gifts over shiny new gifts. They have a passion for crafting and will literally put their blood, sweat, and tears into your gift. Make sure to appreciate their hard work.

9. The Extreme Couponing Shoppers

These shoppers leave the store with money when they should be spending money. They cause arguments with the cashiers and will not buy anything without it being discounted. Watch out for these crazy shoppers. They will run you down if you're in their way.

10. The Re-gifter

Oh yeah, I'm sure you thought of me when you saw this book. Thanks for the thoughtful gift!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
