15 Things That Went Through My Mind During Black Friday Shopping
USA Today

The craziest shopping day of the year has some awesome deals and some crazy habits. This year, certain stores opened at 5 or 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day, starting the sales early and the madness just a little bit earlier than normal. Through the madness, you can always get some pretty good deals, enjoyment, or just plain anger. No matter what happens, just make sure you get what you stood in line for, no matter what it takes.

Here are a few thoughts that go through our heads while Black Friday shopping.

1. Look, there's a parking spot!


After 15 minutes of looking for a spot, the parking lot is now 100 percent full.

2. Bitch, that’s my sweater and you aren’t taking it!


I didn’t wait in line for an hour and deal with this claustrophobia in this store for you to take the last Small. No, bye.

3. When are we getting Starbucks to fuel my energy?


Nevermind, I saw the line and I can’t do that. It's too much.

4. If it's more than $20, I’m not going to get it.


This is Black Friday, why is it still $130? I am on a college budget, people!

5. This is a mad house. Why I am I doing this again?

Currently being pushed and can’t breath. This is just way too many people.

6. I need to avoid everyone I know here.

Oh, hey! Yeah, college is great. Nice to see you too, I guess.

7. Guys. Let's get food. Right now.


We've been shopping for five hours, can we please get tacos?

8. Could you slide two inches to the left? I need to look at that.


It's the biggest struggle of the night. I just need that one item, but these people are too busy taking selfies.

9. Lady, if you bump me one more time...


I thought I had really good patience until tonight…

10. Where is grandma?

We always lose her when we're on a mission.

11. Should I look at my bank account right now?


Best to go ahead and say no. Don’t look. Just don’t do it.

12. We need to make a trip to the car.


My arms hurt guys, can we take the bags to the car?

13. Look at all these guys!


Single and maybe ready to mingle. Or eat some ice cream. Either way, it sounds good.

14. I made a bad shoe choice, a very bad shoe choice.


Why did I wear the boots with a heel? Why, why, why?

15. Sleep is probably better than this.


The one time I get to be on break from school and instead of staying up all night writing papers, I stay up all night shopping.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
