Waking up at the crack of dawn to wait in line for hours just to get a good deal on an item really doesn't sound like a fun time. Skipping Thanksgiving dinner to go shopping doesn't appeal to me either. Instead of pushing through crowds to claim that item that you're not even guaranteed to get your hands on, enjoy your Thanksgiving weekend and wait until Cyber Monday.

1. You can shop from the comfort of your home or office.

Whether you're lounging in your pajamas at home or sitting at your office desk, you can easily access Cyber Monday deals online on various different websites.

2. You don't have to wait in a line.

Cyber Monday is perfect for impatient people like me. You can shop online hassle free.

3. You don't need to miss Thanksgiving dinner.

Some Black Friday sales start as early as the night of Thanksgiving. Spend time with your family, enjoy your dinner, and wait until Monday for some online deals.

4. You can read reviews and compare prices before you decide to buy.

Just because a store advertises that something is on sale doesn't mean that it's a good deal. Shopping online during Cyber Monday allows you to read reviews for items typically right on the website. You can easily look up prices of the same or similar items with just the click of a button.

5. You can shop on your own time.

There's no need to wake up at a specific time to purchase your desired items. Cyber Monday deals happen all day so you can decide when you'd like to go shopping.

6. You can avoid crowds.

The beauty of Cyber Monday is that you don't have to physically come into contact with anyone. If an item sells out on Cyber Monday, it'll just disappear from the website. You won't have anyone trying to attack you for that item that they really wanted.

7. You can budget your spending more easily.

It's so easy for us to pick things up in stores without even realizing how much we're spending until we actually pay for it. Shopping online allows you to easily keep track of how much you're spending.

8. You might find deals online that aren't available in physical stores.

Cyber Monday can give you access to deals on airfare, hotels, event tickets, etc.

9. Amazon offers great deals you might not be able to find in stores.

One of the most popular websites to shop on during Cyber Monday is Amazon.com and you can basically find everything you could ever want or need on that website.

10. Shopping online saves you time.

If there is a specific or a few specific things that you really want to buy and you're not just going Black Friday shopping for the "experience", wait to buy it on Cyber Monday. It is unnecessary to make such an effort for a good deal.

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.
