7 Deadly Sins: Christmas Edition

Everyone is guilty.

With the holidays right around the corner, everyone knows that Halloween to New Years is just about the best time of the year. The weather is cold, the hot cocoa is hot, and the sweaters are XXL. This is the time of giving. Too often we get caught up in the hustle and bustle of things and we forget what the holidays are really about. With this, I give you the 7 Deadly Sins: Christmas Edition.

1. Lust

Welcome to cuffing season my friends. It's a time of settling down with a "loved?" one or someone that can get you through the cold winter moments. Will you last until Valentine's Day? Probably not. But why not cuddle under a blanket for some Netflix and Chill until then.

2. Gluttony

We will feast, and we will feast again. Jeans will turn into yoga pants by Christmas Eve, and all the festivities include the most caloric food and drinks. A cup of eggnog for you turns into a downed bottle. Garlic bread turns into a whole loaf of bread. Calories don't count during the holidays though right?

3. Greed

Christmas lists turn into Christmas books. The lists are so long we could write a novel. The brokest season, while we are all patiently awaiting for more under the tree.

4. Sloth

It's not called break because you are supposed to be doing work. Grabbing a blanket or four and a cup of something warm on the couch is the only way to get through the month. Your mother may have asked you to do the laundry but you do enough at school, amiright?

5. Wrath

Family pressures are high, and your drunk uncle doesn't know when to shut up. Your family is probably offended by your crop top, or your political sweater. The arguments around the dinner table are ones to never forget.

6. Envy

Your bag probably wasn't as expensive as Kim Kardashian's Christmas gift from her family, but does it really matter? There will always be something better on sale December 26.

7. Pride

Similar to the rest of these, let Christmas be a time of happiness, not worrying whether you got the better present than your siblings, or who loves who more.

At the end of the day, be thankful we are not alive for Dante's Inferno, because I'd be seeing all the rest of you in Hell as well! Happy Holiday's everybody!

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
