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!

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.
