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.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
