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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
