11 People You See Black Friday Shopping
iDigitalTimes

1. The First-Time Shoppers

There are always going to be the first-time shoppers that take their chances with the chaotic atmosphere that is Black Friday shopping. When you glance up and see their doe-eyed faces in complete panic as they look into the pits of people fighting over DVDs and video games, or other early Christmas gifts for family members.

2. The Realist

These people tend to be the most prepared for the holiday madness, they prepare for how busy each store will be and make a day out of Black Friday shopping, while making sure their priorities of the day were completed before they went.

3. The Splurger

This type of person tends to buy whatever they want when they want it. If they can see themselves using it at all in the near future, they buy it, no matter the cost. They tend to use the excuse "I'm saving a lot of money already, so why not?" Along with buying a lot of stuff, they buy expensive items.

4. The Slob

These are every retail worker's nightmare. They shuffle through the clothes, messing up anything folded while shuffling through the racks and knocking displays over. They tend to focus more on making a mess instead of finding deals, but it could be taken as multitasking in both fields.

5. The Techie

Rather than looking at most stores like Target, these shoppers hit up the nearest Best Buy for all
the tech presents they can find. Black Friday has many deals for cameras, TVs and Apple products, so these shoppers take advantage of that.

6. The Fashionista

Rather than focusing on the technology or home goods, these shoppers focus on shopping for all clothing, shoes, and accessory sales. They also go hand in hand with the slobs, as they are trying to find their sizes and styles that they had wanted to find when first introduced to these sale ideas.

7. The Time Crunchers

To these shoppers, time is no object. By fitting time into visits for multiple stores, these shoppers use as much of the 24 hours as possible. They use the whole day as a day of shopping for gifts for the family and friends rather than going into another post-Thanksgiving dinner coma.

8. The Campers

Starting on Thanksgiving night, these shoppers set up tents and sleeping bags outside of their favorite stores and malls just so they can be the first ones to get the best deals and be the first in line for them. Black Friday is no joke for these shoppers.

9. The Family People

Black Friday may not always be the best time to go shopping with the family for deals, but, there are some families that do this. Rather than shopping until you drop, there are families that bring aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, and the entire family to explore stores and malls.

10. The Know-It-Alls

Most of these people tend to go shopping on Black Friday every year, so they develop a sense of calmness while amidst the madness in each aisle of the stores. However, whenever someone asks a simple question that they should know the answer to, these people jump at the chance to answer the question and shove their knowledge down the other person's throat.

11. The Millionaires

Like the Splurgers, money is no object for these shoppers. They can really shop until they drop and not have to stop and think about the prices they are paying for the certain objects they are looking to purchase. When these people shop, they shop to impress and buy whatever they would like.

Black Friday may bring out the best and worst of people, and you are bound to see someone behaving in one of these ways on one of the craziest shopping days in the Holiday season.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.
