9 Feelings You Had When Finding Out Santa Wasn't Real as told by Justin Bieber

There was a time in your childhood when you realized your entire life was a lie, you've never been this hurt before and did not know what to do with all your emotion. All you could think is "how could they" and WHAT DO YOU MEAN santa isn't real........ !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Stage 1: Denial

Either you found out on your own, someone ruined it for you or your parents thought it was the right time to tell you.

Stage 2: Confusion

You refused to believe what they were saying and that everything you've ever believed in was a lie and you began to question everything else in life.

Is there an easter bunny? tooth fairy? who ate all the cookies? how did you know what I wanted? YOU MEAN I SPRINKLED REINDEER DUST FOR NO REASON!

Stage 3: Disappointment

You gave your parents the silent treatment, hoping that they would say "just kidding".. but the time never came.

Stage 4: Betrayal

Going into hibernation, because you've never felt so betrayed before. You never thought your parents would lie to you, especially about santa.

Stage 5: Grief

You refused to stop crying and come out of your room.

Stage 6: Anger

Everything your parents did made you angry. You began to lash out at everything they said, even your favorite food they made you to make up for it. You yelled at your siblings to and questioned them about everything they already knew.

so you never heard santa on the roof either? how long did you know? how could you!

Stage 7: Realization

You start to put the pieces together and couldn't believe how naive you were.

Stage 8: Acceptance

"I KNEW IT ALL ALONG OKAY"

You pretend that you knew the whole time and go around telling all your friends to try and be smarter and superior. Like you were carrying around the worlds biggest secret.

"I know something you don't know! ha ha ha"

Stage 9: Revenge

For the next few years of christmas you taunt and tease your parents telling them that your going to give them coal or no presents at all!

oh you don't like being lied to either?

But even after all the lies, you can't help but give your parents 'daps' on keeping it a secret all those years.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

University of Southern California

4654

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1928

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
