Signs You're A Black Friday Addict

Standing in lines has never felt so exciting.

It's the time of year where families gather, we voice our thankfulness, fill our stomachs with delicious food, and the excitement of Black Friday deals begin. Thanks to my step-mom and step-aunt, I have become a Black Friday addict. Do you wonder if you've become obsessed with finding the best deals on Black Friday? Here are some signs:

1. You budget how much you'll spend.

"Are those shoes really worth it?" "What's the absolute max I can spend?" "Maybe I can put it on my credit card?" These are all things that go through your mind pre Black Friday shopping.

2. You plan what you'll buy and where you'll buy it.

"Do I need a new pair of jeans?" "American Eagle has good deals, let's go there." I like knowing what I'm buying and where I'm going to buy it, otherwise I won't beat the lines. Knowing what times certain stores open and planning ahead is always a must.

3. The lines excite you.

Long line? No problem by me.

4. You've ran to get an item before.

No, I haven't knocked someone down but I will admit I have ran to a certain item before.

5. You feel on top of the world walking out of the store with what you planned to buy.

One thing checked off the list is a great feeling.

6. You're actually sad when they're out of the item you planned to buy.

Walking up to an empty shelf is disheartening, but I don't give up.

7. Unpacking everything you bought and calculating how much you saved brings you happiness.

This is the best part. Seeing how much you saved couldn't feel better and unpacking everything is like an early Christmas.

8. You always look forward to the next year.

You'll do it all over again in a year and you cannot wait.

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.
