11 Things To Expect This Black Friday

1. Sales that start the night before, AKA: Thanksgiving.

Like, oh, it's 6 p.m. I guess I've been thankful for long enough?


2. Invitations from the relatives to go shopping with them - immediately after the pumpkin pie.

You may have finished your Thanksgiving meal a mere 20 minutes ago, but, faint not, someone will suggest shopping.


3. Last minute shopping proposals from friends.

[Cue 11 p.m. phone call from the squad.]


4. And your not-so-unexpected answer to 'reluctantly' attend.

"OKAY FINE, LET'S DO THIS."


5. The overly-supportive friend.

"Oh my GOSH. They have light-up water speakers - light-up water speakers. We're getting these."


6. The rationalizer.

"Girl, I know you need to buy gifts for us, but please, do not spend $67 on Bath and Body Works lotion right now."


7. The strange urge to check out the Toys R Us sale.

There's just something about the holiday season that calls our inner child to surface.


8. The inevitable likelihood that you will stop at the mall's pretzel shop for a 2 a.m. power snack.

Cinnamon soft pretzels offer that much-needed overdose of sugar and salt you'll start to crave during your late-night expeditions. Auntie Anne's is your move.


9. That soccer mom from your little brother's travel team may maul you over in the middle of Target.

Forgive the woman - she's got kids, and you know she's on a mission. Maintain your surface composure and walk yourself to the Starbucks conveniently located at the front of the building. Breathe.


10. Accept that Walmart may not be worth the shopping trip. However, the entertainment factor will likely be high.

Enter at your own risk, people. No one really knows what to expect from the after 2 a.m. crowd. What happens at Walmart, stays at Walmart.


11. THE SALES.

This is the only time of the year you can justify spending $100+ on Santa memorabilia. Get yourself out there and experience the madness for yourself.


And remember: Stay safe. Stay savvy. Stay classy.

Cheers, Black Friday-goers.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
