The Worst Part About Holiday Shopping

It is not merry at all

It may be the most wonderful time of the year, BUT it is also insanely stressful and may make you never want to go shopping ever again. Holiday shopping is always stressful and exhausting. Here are a few things you probably experience while getting your holiday shopping done.

1.) Traffic

But seriously why is the traffic so bad? I mean I get it everyone needs to get some shopping done but why did everyone suddenly lose the ability to drive? And with everyone not being able to drive, so many car accidents happen and everyone gets road rage.

2.) Trying to find a parking spot

THERE IS NEVER ENOUGH PARKING ANYWHERE. You may spend a solid 15 minutes just trying to find a parking spot somewhere.

3.) Every store is crowded.

You can barely make it through anywhere with accidentally knocking into someone. You never even knew that this many peopled lived in your town or would come shop in your town but you do not like it.

4.) Seeing people you don't want to see

You always run into that one person you just honestly do not want to see. Whether its someone you went to high school with or its a coworker you just know that you do not want to see them ever again and you do not want to stop and talk to them either.

5.) The lines

LINES FOR THE LINES. You will have to wait forever just to buy that candle for your aunt that you only see four times each year. By the time you finally get up to the register you might as well have bought stuff for Christmas next year because that's how long the line took.

6.) Being broke after shopping

I can totally see why we have extreme couponers now because buy everything for everyone is expensive. This especially sucks if you are a college student on a budget because grandma may deserve the world but that is way to expensive.

But eventually, it is all worth it because seeing the smiles on all of your family and friends faces is absolutely priceless.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
