6 Reasons Why Cyber Monday Is The New Black Friday

Black Friday shopping is a pretty big deal to some people these days.

Everyone is all about getting the best deals and waking up earlier then the crack of dawn just for the pure thrill of piling into the car and going to your favorite retail store on Thanksgiving.

But what these people should know is that Cyber Monday is actually a way better way to do it. Stores like Wal-Mart, Target, Macy's and a bunch of other big retailers that do Black Friday also have some of the best Cyber Monday sales.

So this year hunker down on the couch and grab that computer because Black Friday is old news.

1. Shopping from the comfort of your couch


PJ's and chillin' on the couch while getting awesome deals, now doesn't that sound way better then going out into the cold really early in the morning and waiting on long af lines.....

2. No waiting on lines

Duh, the lines at stores and malls on Black Friday totally make it not worth it. Still will never understand the people that camp out over night to be first in line at a Best Buy.

3. Compare prices like a boss

If you're doing Cyber Monday you obviously are one click away from seeing which stores have the best deals for a product. So be ready to have about 10 tabs open..

4. Way better deals then what you'd get on Black Friday

Cyber Monday has turned out to actually have way better deals then Black Friday, so still wondering why anyone does Black Friday anymore.

check out Wal-Mart, Target, Macy's, Forever 21, BestBuy for some awesome Cyber Monday sales.

5. The joy of waiting for your packages to arrive


Nothing compares to the complete excitement of receiving a package. That thrill definitely trumps the instant gratification of shopping in a store.

6. You get to enjoy Thanksgiving night

Thanksgiving is supposed to be spent with family, not getting up and leaving just to get a good deal on a pair of headphones.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
