Black Friday As Told By Gifs

As I am writing this, I just got home from Thanksgiving Day/Black Friday shopping. I got a lot of great deals and almost all of my Christmas shopping done. This is the first year that I actually had a list of stuff I wanted instead of just walking into stores and having no idea what to expect. I highly recommend the former. I had quite a better experience than previous years. So, I thought I would share some general reactions felt by most on Thanksgiving day/Black Friday shopping. I am going to be focusing on Thanksgiving Day.


1. When you make all your plans of where to shop and what to get


2. When you actually get out after taking a nap and/or fully digesting your Thanksgiving day meal.


3. On this day, Coffee instantly becomes your best friend.


4. The moment you enter into any store, no matter how many people there are.


5. When you have no shopping lists


6. When you're forced to follow the crowd because you don't want to get run over


7. What you want to do every time someone gets too close to you, takes the last of something you wanted, or hits you without apologizing

8. But when you actually see a confrontation and you're not involved


9. The whole time you are out shopping and are questioning your life


10. But after you look at the savings at the bottom of the recipe, you realize it was all worth it



Those are just some of the reactions I had during the past couple years I have spent doing Thanksgiving day/Black Friday shopping. I hope you enjoyed and understood the wonderful experience felt by most during this weekend.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
