3 Reasons Why Amazon Will Make So Much Money Off 'Amazon Go'
https://twitter.com/lexysavvides/status/1054790861991464960

My life changed this morning when my sleepy fingers graced over the Twitter app icon. Immediately, the latest headline stole my gaze, "First Amazon Go Store Opens in California." You are probably thinking exactly what I said, "Amazon Go where?" Well let me tell you, Amazon Go is going to the future. Amazon Go will change anything you ever thought you knew about grocery shopping, and it will make Amazon billions.

Here is the general concept of the Amazon Go store:

Cashierless Shopping

This is awesome! This brings the greatest thing about Amazon, not having to interact with people while buying things, while forcing you to go outside because you know your kind of starting to forget what the world looks like outside of your bedroom.

High Tech Tracking Technology

Another article I read while researching Amazon Go actually read "- high tech tracking technology instead of human interaction." Again, they are targeting the right audience my friend. Amazon knows the type of people that use Amazon. We want our deliveries quick and without leaving our homes to get it.

No Money!

No cashiers. Tracking Technology. They both lead to the ultimate money making aspect of Amazon Go. No money. When you enter the store, you scan your barcode in the app, and that's it. You go get whatever you want, put it in a bag, and walk out. No waiting in lines. Nothing. It's like it's free Of course, it'll somehow through the magic of technology figure out what you bought and charge you through the Amazon Go app. However, just like on the Amazon website, you'll forget about 'money' as you see all these thing you can just have! Before you know it you 1-click delivered $100 worth of nonsense that you don't even need.


Best believe I'm filling up my bag and walking out of Amazon Go like I didn't just spend next month's rent.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
