With the holidays approaching, we are all so excited about the highly anticipated Thanksgiving Dinner. And what's the perfect way to burn off all that food? Black Friday shopping. For those who have not experienced the wonders of this underrated holiday, us experienced shoppers want to let you know to that you should start getting into the determined state of mind. So here are a few tips from the cast of Game of Thrones:

1. The Eye of the Tiger: Black Friday Edition

You've had the turkey, the ham, the cranberry sauce, and your fill of all the holiday desserts. After you've awaken from your food coma, you're ready to take on this challenge. It's go time. Nothing is stopping you. This is Black Friday.


2. Bye Felicia!

So maybe your food baby from the early festivities is showing and people may think you're in your second trimester, but whatever! It's the least of your concerns. You are on a mission and no one's snide comments will phase you.

3. I'm a human with feelings, gosh!

The relationship of a Black Friday shopper and the infamous holiday is one of love and hate. Yes, the deals are AMAZING and the hype of it all is exhilarating, but we are all human. It's hard leaving a warm, cozy bed at 4 am to join a mass of crazy fanatics, so don't sue me if I shed a tear or two.

4. Don't Try Me

We've all got our eyes on that cheap TV or that special iPhone deal, but I'm not the one. I saw it first and touched it first, so it's mine. Move on because no amount of intimidation will move me, and you my friend, are only hurting yourself.

5. You can't win them all

Noo!! After hours and hours of waiting of waiting, the inevitable happened: They ran out of that one item you've been waiting all year to get. The moment I finally made it to the front of the line. It was at that moment I knew that I had messed up.

6. Live and Learn

You've learned your lesson from your rookie mistakes and this time you will conquer Black Friday. The vengeance of those failed missions have fueled you to set records for the bargains you will get this year.


7. Stay Strong

No one ever said this would be easy. It may look bleak, but stay positive. You can do it and get those bargains. You can see the rising sun through the automatic doors and the hope that you may survive another year.

8. You Did It!!

It's 10 am and you have survived. You got those bargains and kept your cat fights to a minimum of 2. You only had one meltdown AND you got 7 out of the 10 bargains you though you would die without. You've have officially mastered Black Friday. Now driving home is another quest in itself.

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.
