6 Types Of People You WILL Run Into Holiday Shopping

...Tis the season to go shopping and avoid everything important about this holiday. I know you probably fall under this, as most people do. So I know you were probably out on Black Friday and Thanksgiving shopping and I can only imagine what kind of experience that was. Here are the 6 different kind of people you saw while shopping, or will be seeing this holiday season.

1. The Soccer Mom

This isn't just your normal mom, this is the mom that runs around at 3am hurdling over small children and pushing people out of her way to grab that sweater at American Eagle that is only $5 off. (It'll get cheaper before Christmas, but it's the sale that counts.) Chances are she also slowly snuck past you and snagged the last pair of free slippers from you too.

2. Soccer Mom's Husband

This guy stands out in the crowd. He is probably sitting down on any type of flat surface that isn't a chair in the store. He also probably has thousands of dollars of merchandise in his hands, while his wife is calling to him from the other side of the store about which color sweater their daughter Megan would like. Chances are he has no idea.

3. The Woman With Valid Coupons

I know at least one time in your life you have watched some kind of extreme coupling show and you just wonder how the hell they do it. Well, while you are out shopping, you are going to see a real life version of this. (Hopefully you don't get caught behind this person). Some how or another Sharon can get in line with $600 worth of merchandise and only pays $46.97 for all of it.

4. The Woman With Invalid Coupons

The. Worst. Kind. Of. Christmas. Shopper. Tara, I know you had that coupon from last Black Friday, so yes, that means you cannot use it. No...you also can't reuse the coupon from the woman in front of you. Oh now you don't want the boots now? Excellent.

5. Retail Worker's Worst Nightmare

This is the worst of the worst. You get up to the register and it isn't until after you are ready to pay that you decide that you don't ACTUALLY want the stilettos, polo for your husband, school pants for your son, and Nikes for your daughter... "Oh you don't take check? Well, then I won't take any of these items then." More or less the worst kind of person to deal with during any time of the year.

6. Cutest Old People Ever

You just look at them and first off you wonder why they are even out at this hour, but then you realize you don't care because they are adorable and probably will make your day SO much better.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
