6 Types Of People You WILL Run Into Holiday Shopping

...Tis the season to go shopping and avoid everything important about this holiday. I know you probably fall under this, as most people do. So I know you were probably out on Black Friday and Thanksgiving shopping and I can only imagine what kind of experience that was. Here are the 6 different kind of people you saw while shopping, or will be seeing this holiday season.

1. The Soccer Mom

This isn't just your normal mom, this is the mom that runs around at 3am hurdling over small children and pushing people out of her way to grab that sweater at American Eagle that is only $5 off. (It'll get cheaper before Christmas, but it's the sale that counts.) Chances are she also slowly snuck past you and snagged the last pair of free slippers from you too.

2. Soccer Mom's Husband

This guy stands out in the crowd. He is probably sitting down on any type of flat surface that isn't a chair in the store. He also probably has thousands of dollars of merchandise in his hands, while his wife is calling to him from the other side of the store about which color sweater their daughter Megan would like. Chances are he has no idea.

3. The Woman With Valid Coupons

I know at least one time in your life you have watched some kind of extreme coupling show and you just wonder how the hell they do it. Well, while you are out shopping, you are going to see a real life version of this. (Hopefully you don't get caught behind this person). Some how or another Sharon can get in line with $600 worth of merchandise and only pays $46.97 for all of it.

4. The Woman With Invalid Coupons

The. Worst. Kind. Of. Christmas. Shopper. Tara, I know you had that coupon from last Black Friday, so yes, that means you cannot use it. No...you also can't reuse the coupon from the woman in front of you. Oh now you don't want the boots now? Excellent.

5. Retail Worker's Worst Nightmare

This is the worst of the worst. You get up to the register and it isn't until after you are ready to pay that you decide that you don't ACTUALLY want the stilettos, polo for your husband, school pants for your son, and Nikes for your daughter... "Oh you don't take check? Well, then I won't take any of these items then." More or less the worst kind of person to deal with during any time of the year.

6. Cutest Old People Ever

You just look at them and first off you wonder why they are even out at this hour, but then you realize you don't care because they are adorable and probably will make your day SO much better.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
