Why Christmas Isn't The Best

Some Things That Make Me Agree with The Grinch

Dec 19, 2016

Okay, so I know that this time of year is basically everyone's favorite and people get outrageously excited about it for months in advance. I feel like I love Christmas a normal amount. I get it, its a great time to spend with family and very exciting to get and give presents, but there are some things that are just not thrilling about the most "wonderful" time of the year.

The Traffic

Okay, I know this is kind of stupid and nobody likes traffic, but anywhere close to a mall is ridiculously packed and people drive like crazy.

The absolute NEED to buy outrageously expensive and huge presents.

Black Friday is crazy. This is supposed to be about celebrating time with your family and bringing goodwill to men so why do we fight over a gift for our kids? People go to crazy lengths to find the "perfect" present when we all should know it is the thought that counts.

The Christmas music

Like I said, I love Christmas a normal amount, but who wants to listen to the same 10 songs for over a month because we all know stores start playing it the same day as Thanksgiving.

So I don't want to be a Grinch or a Scrooge but I guess I just want to remind everyone to really remember what Christmas is supposed to be about. It is amazing to see someone's face light up when they open your present, but it really is about loving one another and spending time together.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo
