Holiday Shopping is Here! Are You Ready?

The Holidays are here! Whether that means you are filled with the joy and love that the holidays are supposed to bring or you are filled with the dread of spending all the money that you have saved up, you can't deny that there is something special in the air as the holidays approach. As Black Friday comes to a close, I figure, what better way to kick off the first traditional week of holiday shopping than with a list of feelings we all have when we are all shopping for the most wonderful time of the year?

1. When you find the perfect gift for someone

2. Trying to find parking at your local mall or shopping center


3. Finally finding said parking spot then having someone take it right out from under you

4. Walking into the mall and knowing that you might see what hell looks like

5. When a store is too crowded and you decide to nope the hell out of there

6. When you see a fight break out in a store

7. But then you start to take a side and secretly cheer them on

8. When you only have one more person on your list

9. You're finished! You are finally done with holiday shopping!

10. But then you realize you have to face the wrath of the parking lot again

So, whether you are absolutely pumped to find that perfect gift, or you are dreading the mere thought of being around the masses of people who are all there for the same reason, it's always important that we remember the real reason for the holidays, and that is to be with the people we love. When you go holiday shopping this season, be respectful to other people and keep in mind that when it is all said and done, you don't have to worry about doing it again for a whole year!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
