I keep looking at the calendar and getting anxious. Not only is it almost midterm time for me, I also gotta worry about Christmas shopping.

I mean, I could do all my shopping online, but that feels a bit devoid of the spirit, right? Father Christmas doesn't go around checking off Amazon wishlists, that's just devoid of humanity, right there.

So I propose this! When midterms or finals or whatever are over, let's all go on a group shopping trip!

There are lots of shopping centers in Manhattan, right? Something for everyone! We'll make it a big school thing, and everyone can chip in to get gifts for our loved ones and family and whatnot!

Well... I think it's a good idea anyways.

Oh, cool! And maybe we can help each other pick things out? I never know what to get my parents...

That sounds like it could be nice. Shopping for gifts to send back home is simpler online, but...if it's for friends here, it would be more thoughtful, finding something in person.

The only problem would be trying not to let anyone else going along find out what you're getting them.

Ordering things is still more convenient, especially when you're busy. Or sending someone off with a list.

That's a great idea Bridget! When d'you think we'd do it? After exams or just one a weekend or something??

Eli hesitated back and forth then typed, "If you have room for one more on the shopping trip?" she hit send before she could chicken out.

Do we have to go to the fancy stores? I don't have much allowance.
