4 Things to Remember While Black Friday Shopping

With Black Friday quickly approaching, workers in retail begin to dread the event. Please keep these few things in mind as you and your friends and family go to Black Friday shop.

1. There will be lines, and that is not the workers fault.

When you go to Black Friday, you are guaranteed to stand in line, it is what it is. What it isn't is the cashiers fault. The cashiers and the managers can only do so much at a time, so please do not get angry with us when you have to wait a few minutes.

2. Please don't cause a fight

Do you see the look of terror on the face of the women in the middle? We would love it if we could avoid having those kinds of moments in the store. I know you want your discounted TV, but please don't sacrifice the safety of yourself or other while doing so.

3. We do not get paid enough to hear you all argue

Black Friday is a day that we are all required to work, and we do not get paid enough to witness you argue. We are very willing to help you find what you are looking for, but we do not want to see you argue over who should get the last towel.

4. Your worker would much rather be at home

Your Black Friday employee would much rather be at home. It is Thanksgiving night, after all. But we have been at the store all day, taping lines to the floor, guarding palettes so no one gets in to them early. You may have been able to celebrate your thanksgiving with your family, but we didn't. So please be respectful of all the workers who are giving up their thanksgiving so that you can get some good deals.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
