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

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.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
