1) Because Snapchat was created by the Devil so he can show Santa all the terrible crap you’ve been up to at your job’s holiday party.


2) Speaking of parties, the holidays force you to be around people you absolutely detest. Your favorite question to every invite is: "Who's going to be there?"


3) During the holidays, you become obsessed with your social life and want to attend every ugly sweater party.


4) But eventually, you get sick of it all, become an introvert and reject everyone.


5) And finally, you find the perfect balance.


6) Keeping up with all the current fashion trends for holiday dresses are exhausting. Trying on dress after dress, is exhausting. Sooner or later you reach your breaking point.

10) Talking to kids who speak in social media/viral video lingo just makes you want to do this...

Seriously, if I hear another kid say,"What are thoooseeeeee?!" I'm pelting them with coal.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.
