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.

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.
