Black Friday may be over, but the holidays are just beginning. Gift shopping season is here, and with the season comes the stress of finding the perfect gifts for the special people in your life. But remember, you're not alone.

Oh my god I don't know what to get anyone.

Just go browse through the mall for half a day in hopes that you'll come across the perfect gifts even though you know you won't!

Wow I am so broke. Do you think they'll be offended if I get them a toothbrush?

What if it's an electric toothbrush?

Alright, I am going to the mall and I am finding everyone the perfect gift while I'm here.

Confidence is key, right?

Nevermind, there's too many people. I just might end up strangling someone.

Claustrophobia at its finest.

How much should I spend on this person?

If I spend too much, they'll feel bad, but I don't spend enough, I'll feel bad.

Men are soooooo hard to shop for.

Getting your brother or boyfriend a gift is always a hassle.

Maybe I'll just get everyone a gift card. Who doesn't love gift cards?

Or is that too impersonal?

It's. So. Cold.

If you live in New York or the Northeast, you know how miserable it is to go shopping in the middle of December. Bundling up in coats and gloves because it's below freezing outside, then sweating your butt off inside the mall because there are so many people that you have to take off all those layers and carry them during your shopping extravaganza.

Wow this sweater is so cute, it would match my brown boots perfectly.

Snap out of it, you're not supposed to be shopping for yourself.

My sister would love these shoes. Of course they don't have her size.

Stores never have the size you're looking for when you need it the most.

This line is so long. Are these gifts really worth a twenty minute wait?

Yes. You've been here for three hours already. Buy them and go home. You'll regret it later.

Now that I've gotten a gift for everyone on my list, I really hope I get money for Christmas.

Because I am so broke it hurts.

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.
