Tea Is An All The Time Appropriate Gift

Not just the times where you expect tea to be given.

I might be that old lady who loves to drink tea. Think of the last time you went out and got a box of tea bags and made the tea in hot water and just drank it? Maybe add some honey or sugar? Without being sick or fearing being sick, just drank tea?

Yeah, I didn't think you could think you would have a last time. And if you do, kudos, not many people do.

So for the mass majority of the population, hot tea is reserved for really occasions, old people and being sick, but for me, hot tea is a good drink to have to unwind, when it's cold outside, not when its hot outside but maybe for when I feel like it in my house and observing the hotness outside, or really just any occasion. Therefore, tea should be a present for my birthday (January 30th, just in case you wanted to know), a treat in a gift bag for Halloween, a thank you gift around thanksgiving and a Christmas present (only in December does Christmas present apply) (Just saying).

For the tea lovers out there, you'll understand it when I say I want loose leaf tea, not the ones in prepackaged bags. Maybe even the teas that are bundled up flowers that bloom in the hot water. There's more than just the Lipton that comes on the cute little bag. There's also the matter of the filtering cups, the ones that you put loose leaf tea in then you pour water and then filter the tea leaves out with the filter, those are good! Sometimes, people just use some ginger root as there tea.

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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.

The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
