Nobody Likes Planning A Vacation, But These 10 Logistics Really Suck

So if you are planning a family vacation all I have to say to you is good luck, asshole.

This one is for all those vacation planners that absolutely dread planning.

1. Family size confirmation

Giphy

This inevitably messes with everything else. I have a huge family and the family trip can range anywhere from ten to twenty or more people. Finding the right house for our amount is nearly impossible.

2. Budgeting

Giphy

You may get confirmation from twenty people but now you have to create a budget plan. Your perfect home may be a little much from other people attending.

3. Rides

Giphy

Of course you can never fix one problem without another one inevitably arising. People have confirmed but now they are worried about how they will get there. So now you have to figure out a way to fit twenty people in three vehicles. It is going to be a hassle.

4. Money to reserve

Giphy

You have finally found the perfect home but now you need everyone to give you money to put aside the reservation. Suddenly, no one has the money right now and you just have to pray that house will be there by the following week.

5. Last minute cancelling

Giphy

It is finally time to reserve the home but now people have started to cancel on you. Now what? Well you either start over or see if you can find anyone else to go with you all last minute to make up for the difference. Good luck!

6. Complaints

Giphy

No matter how much effort you are putting towards this you will always have someone that complains. Get ready for it.

7. Final decisions

Giphy

If there is more than ten people going, I am already feeling sorry for you when it comes to this. Reaching a final decision is nearly impossible. They either don't wanna ride with that person or they don't like the house, etc.

8. Accomodations

Giphy

Let's say everyone wants a room or they want the house by the beach or lake. Maybe they even want the house to be next to a Wal-Mart. Well now you have got to accomodate everyone because if you dont, the whole trip may go straight into the trash.

9. Extra reservation fees

Giphy

You may have added about $100 for fees when reserving the home but now you are at the subtotal page and its a hundred dollars more than you expected. Get ready, the tears are coming. Call everyone and see if they are willing to pay more per person. Whatever you do, please try not to pay out of pocket.

10. You are always gonna be the asshole

Giphy

It is impossible to please everyone. Someone will complain about the location while another one nags about the extra fees. No matter how hard you try this will always fall back on you. It will always be your fault. You will be the annoying one who calls them everyday for money or doesn't choose a great location or completely messes it up. Be that asshole. They love to complain but ultimately they know that if you stop looking for a place, there is no vacation and everyone needs a vacation.

So if you are planning a family vacation all I have to say to you is good luck, asshole.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
