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.

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.
