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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
