Obnoxious Christmas Decorations And 7 Other Things That Piss Off The Christmas Grinches

It's the most ~annoying~ time of the year.

If you're anything like me, Christmas always comes way too early. Wreaths and Christmas decorations are out on display in all the big shopping centers. Your neighbors have reindeer on their white, twinkling lawn even though Thanksgiving is two weeks away. It can be a lot. Here are a few things that other "Christmas Grinches" can probably relate to.

1. That same Mariah Carey song 

This song along with her entire holiday album has haunted many a scrooge. Some have even witnessed others listening to it in the summer *shudders*. The best line of defense is to steer clear of radio stations subject to christmas music takeover as well as headphones in any department store between mid-November up until Christmas Day.

2. Premature holiday decorations 

I understand getting a cute little wreath for the house, but do you need to hang giant inflatable christmas ornaments from the trees in your yard? Really?

3. Having an empty bank account from spending money on gifts 

The holiday season calls for obligatory gift-giving. While it's a nice way to show people you appreciate them, I normally only have $10 in my account.

4. Having the holidays overshadowed by the terror of finals 

It's so hard to feel in the holiday spirit when you are faced with the impending doom that finals bring.

5. The holidays are really lonely for a lot of people 

Some people don't particularly enjoy the holidays due to family stresses or other things. And having everyone remind you of the holiday season can be depressing.

6. That dumb pajama commercial 

If you or your family has cable, you might have seen that stupid Pajamagram commercial. If you haven't, go watch that big ol' mess.

7. Hallmark Christmas movies 

They suck. There, I said it. I can't give my time to watching Christmas themed sh*t films that all seem the same.

8. Resenting the holidays because it was hyped up too early 

I never understood why people start counting down to Christmas as early as September. By the time it's appropriate to get in the holiday spirit, you are sick of the idea of Christmas.

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.
