16 Things That Happen On Black Friday
South Park

America has gotten out of hand with their Black Friday sales. Although it is entertaining to see people fight over a stuffed Elmo, it's really disheartening to realize that people are giving up time with their families to get 10 percent off of an Apple Watch. Black Friday may have passed, but the sights and memories from that day will forever haunt me.


1. You decide to leave the house at 9 p.m. on Thanksgiving night, thinking it will give you plenty of time to be at the front of the line.

2. You arrive at the mall and see hundreds of people already lined up at every single door.

3. You lose your shopping buddy in the crowd.

4. They unlock the doors and all hell breaks loose.

5. You get pushed over by a lady three times your size.

6. You get into a tug-of-war match with a 12-year-old over a pair of boots.


7. You lose the tug-of-war battle.

8. You end up finding a cuter and cheaper pair of boots.

9. You get the last iPad mini with free Beats headphones.

10. The food court is packed and you're starving.

11. The store associate keeps asking you if you want help.

12. You see a woman get tackled over the last pair of $50 Ugg boots.

13. You manage to get a fitting room to try on the cutest 50 percent off sweater.

14. You realize that you ate half of your body weight in Thanksgiving food and nothing will probably fit you right now.

15. The person behind you in the mile long line at the check out tries to make conversation.

16. You make it back to the car after seven hours of shopping and realize you spent way too much money.

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.
