12 Thoughts Everyone Has While  Holiday Shopping Because We All Know How Stressful It Can Be

In This Article:

Black Friday may be over, but the holidays are just beginning. Gift shopping season is here, and with the season comes the stress of finding the perfect gifts for the special people in your life. But remember, you're not alone.

Oh my god I don't know what to get anyone.

Just go browse through the mall for half a day in hopes that you'll come across the perfect gifts even though you know you won't!

Wow I am so broke. Do you think they'll be offended if I get them a toothbrush?

What if it's an electric toothbrush?

Alright, I am going to the mall and I am finding everyone the perfect gift while I'm here.

Confidence is key, right?

Nevermind, there's too many people. I just might end up strangling someone.

Claustrophobia at its finest.

How much should I spend on this person?

If I spend too much, they'll feel bad, but I don't spend enough, I'll feel bad.

Men are soooooo hard to shop for.

Getting your brother or boyfriend a gift is always a hassle.

Maybe I'll just get everyone a gift card. Who doesn't love gift cards?

Or is that too impersonal?

It's. So. Cold.

If you live in New York or the Northeast, you know how miserable it is to go shopping in the middle of December. Bundling up in coats and gloves because it's below freezing outside, then sweating your butt off inside the mall because there are so many people that you have to take off all those layers and carry them during your shopping extravaganza.

Wow this sweater is so cute, it would match my brown boots perfectly.

Snap out of it, you're not supposed to be shopping for yourself.

My sister would love these shoes. Of course they don't have her size.

Stores never have the size you're looking for when you need it the most.

This line is so long. Are these gifts really worth a twenty minute wait?

Yes. You've been here for three hours already. Buy them and go home. You'll regret it later.

Now that I've gotten a gift for everyone on my list, I really hope I get money for Christmas.

Because I am so broke it hurts.

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.
