10 Reasons To Go Black Friday Shopping
Natasha Trivedi

Black Friday: two words that strike both fear and excitement in shoppers' minds. Yes, more often than not it's like the stampede scene from The Lion King. But on the other hand, many shopaholics like myself find that it's the best day of the year. Here's why Black Friday is not something to be missed.

1. Scoring a Sweet Deal.

Yes, this is a cliche no-brainer. But let's be honest, isn't the whole point of Black Friday to go bargain hunting? Almost everything you can get that day is a steal, so take advantage of it.

2. The Excitement of possibly camping out the night before.

Yes, there's nothing glamorous about it, but there's nothing wrong with experiencing something crazy like that at least once in your lifetime.

3. Catching up with old friends.

If you're back from school on break, you will most likely see your high school friends. Why not catch up during Black Friday shopping? You can spend hours together, and there's really no better time.

4. Sales last all week.

Do Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday ring a bell? Friday isn't the only ideal day for shopping, especially when there are awesome deals all week.

5. You have a whole month to get your holiday shopping done.

Yes, of course, you can still shop for yourself on Black Friday. However, if you can, get your holiday shopping done as soon as possible. That way you don't have to worry about it for an entire month.

6. Enduring the Stampede.

Like I said before, Black Friday isn't too different from the stampede from The Lion King. Even though it's not necessarily fun, it almost guarantees a crazy experience, which usually makes the best memories.

7. It's officially THE HOLIDAY SEASON!!

Happy Holidays, everyone!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
