10 Reasons Why Cyber Monday Is Superior To Black Friday

Waking up at the crack of dawn to wait in line for hours just to get a good deal on an item really doesn't sound like a fun time. Skipping Thanksgiving dinner to go shopping doesn't appeal to me either. Instead of pushing through crowds to claim that item that you're not even guaranteed to get your hands on, enjoy your Thanksgiving weekend and wait until Cyber Monday.

1. You can shop from the comfort of your home or office.

Whether you're lounging in your pajamas at home or sitting at your office desk, you can easily access Cyber Monday deals online on various different websites.

2. You don't have to wait in a line.

Cyber Monday is perfect for impatient people like me. You can shop online hassle free.

3. You don't need to miss Thanksgiving dinner.

Some Black Friday sales start as early as the night of Thanksgiving. Spend time with your family, enjoy your dinner, and wait until Monday for some online deals.

4. You can read reviews and compare prices before you decide to buy.

Just because a store advertises that something is on sale doesn't mean that it's a good deal. Shopping online during Cyber Monday allows you to read reviews for items typically right on the website. You can easily look up prices of the same or similar items with just the click of a button.

5. You can shop on your own time.

There's no need to wake up at a specific time to purchase your desired items. Cyber Monday deals happen all day so you can decide when you'd like to go shopping.

6. You can avoid crowds.

The beauty of Cyber Monday is that you don't have to physically come into contact with anyone. If an item sells out on Cyber Monday, it'll just disappear from the website. You won't have anyone trying to attack you for that item that they really wanted.

7. You can budget your spending more easily.

It's so easy for us to pick things up in stores without even realizing how much we're spending until we actually pay for it. Shopping online allows you to easily keep track of how much you're spending.

8. You might find deals online that aren't available in physical stores.

Cyber Monday can give you access to deals on airfare, hotels, event tickets, etc.

9. Amazon offers great deals you might not be able to find in stores.

One of the most popular websites to shop on during Cyber Monday is Amazon.com and you can basically find everything you could ever want or need on that website.

10. Shopping online saves you time.

If there is a specific or a few specific things that you really want to buy and you're not just going Black Friday shopping for the "experience", wait to buy it on Cyber Monday. It is unnecessary to make such an effort for a good deal.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
