11 Thoughts You Have During The Holidays As Told By 'The Office'
postgradproblems.com

The holidays can be a hectic time for everyone. From last minute shopping to squeezing in time with all the family, these are the 11 thoughts you have during the holidays as told by "The Office."

1. Remembering that Jesus is the reason for the season...

As you fight to the death for the last Barbie at Toys R Us.

Hey, Jesus flipped tables, too. Right? Right.

2. When you're trying to figure out how much you're going to spend on presents:

Is it the thought that counts? Or should they be counting the numbers on the price tags? I thought homemade counted as double...

3. When everyone is in the Christmas spirit and your siblings are being nice to you because Santa:


He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you hit me first and tell mom that I started it.

4. When it gets closer to Christmas and you remember how unprepared you are:

I still have 10 million presents to buy and I haven't mentally prepared myself for the onslaught of questions distant family members are going to throw at me and it's almost Christmas SOS.

5. Your family starts with all the questions.

Family: Do you have a boyfriend? Why are you single? What are you doing with your life? You really want to be a teacher? Do you plan on marrying rich? How's college? Have you gained weight?

Me: *internally screams for three years*

6. When you're tired of jamming to traditional Christmas music:

I can only handle Jingle Bell Rock (or any rendition of it... slow jazz? Seriously?) so many times before I lose it. Sometimes you just need to rock out to something original.

7. When your cute baby cousins start getting all the attention:

Excuse me, but as the first-born child of the family, please don't forget that this family revolves around me. I might be an adult now but y'all still put me at the kids table so I will be treated like the adorable princess I am. That is all.

8. When you get yourself for Secret Santa but this is your ninth game and screw the rules:

No one has to know. That's why it's called Secret Santa. Plus, this is the perfect excuse to buy that foot bath for myself.

9. When you're cashing in on the desperateness of last minute shoppers:

Evil? Maybe. But you have to admit it's a great way to make some fast cash.

(You might not act on this, but be real. You know you've thought about all the money you could make if you bought out all of the local stores of their Elsa dolls.)

10. When you get *insert undesirable item here* for the sixth Christmas in a row.

I am grateful, so very grateful. But there's only so many sets of Polly Pockets I need as an adult, you know?

11. But when it gets down to it, you have to admit you're more than excited for Christmas:

CHRISTMAS! YEAH!

Happy holidays, y'all.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!
