5 Types Of Holiday Gift Shoppers

It's that time of year again. Everyone is either completely prepared for the holidays, trying to figure out the last possible day they can make it to the store, or somewhere in between. It's a large gift-giving spectrum, and it's all here for you to decide where you fall.

1. The prepared one.

You did the research, got the gift, and already had it wrapped and hidden away before November. You're just waiting for the day to take it out so the receiver can finally open and appreciate the well-thought-out and personalized present.

2. The deal hunter.

Black Friday is your time to shine. You know exactly where to go and what deals there are so you can find the perfect gift without spending your whole savings. It doesn't matter that you're shopping later because you're saving money.

3. The late-comer.

So you waited until the beginning of December. You had a busy year okay? There's still plenty of time to find a gift for everyone, even if it's just some nice holiday socks.

4. The night before shopper.

Now you're actually out of time and have to find presents and wrap them in less than 24 hours. Unfortunately, there's not a lot left and your wrapping skills are sub-par at best. Time management is not your strong suit.

5. The "I'm the present!" one.

You may be broke, you may really not have had time, or you may just be lazy. But you show up with nothing and tell everyone that your presence is the real present. You also probably do this for birthdays.

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

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

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. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
