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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
