5 Best and Worst Black Friday Stories
bgr.com

As I was looking for inspiration through refinery29, I found an article that talked about different stories people had shared with them about their worst and best stories of Black Friday. Now we all know that Black Friday is always the day after Thanksgiving, and it's when the biggest sales of the year go on for either the whole day or a couple of hours. But, during these hectic hours people show their true colors. So just to make all of you laugh I thought I'd share with you guys some of their funny stories and laughs.

1. "One time, I was at Target on Black Friday and someone in front of me in line paid for their TV with two huge plastic jugs of change. It took forever because the cashier had to count it out it was something like $200 paid for in quarters, and people were so divided. Half the line was pissed, and half thought this person had totally won Black Friday."

2. "I was at the mall with my sister, and we were packing up our car when a frazzled couple with a TON of bags came up to us. They said they would give us $20 if we drove their stuff home for them because their car was full. We agreed but realized on the way to their house we totally could have driven off with it, they didn't ask our name or anything! But of course we delivered it and loved that we actually 'made' money on Black Friday."

3."My friends from college and I used to go to stores on Black Friday and take people's Starbucks orders from line. We made some money, but it was also really fun spreading holiday cheer!"

4. "I went to Macy's at 2a.m with my then boyfriend and his stupid friends my junior year of high school. I got mad that he was only paying attention to the xbox games instead of me, so I walked home on the freeway. I broke up with him as soon as I got home."

5. "I remember when I was little and not allowed to do Black Friday with my mom, so she would go with my grandma, and every year they would bring me back a snow globe from JCpenney."

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
