The morning after Thanksgiving, friends and family alike line up in the cold in order to benefit from Black Friday sales. I am not one of those people. I just do not understand why you would leave the comfort of your home to go stand in line. If you are like me and enjoy life, I have come up with some alternative things to do on Black Friday.

1. Sleep In Late/Stay In Bed: Be sure to tell your friends all about your comfortable bed as they complain about the lines at the mall. You warned them. You did your part.

2. Eat Leftovers: Create a beautiful breakfast feast, because last night was not enough for you. Plus it is so much better than mall food.

3. Christmas List: Start creating your list online. Remember, Black Friday shopping at home is much better than waiting for doors to open at 4 a.m. and getting trampled by crowds.

4. Homework: Finish any important homework due the week after Thanksgiving. That way you can relax and watch Netflix the last week of school... while everyone else is stuck in the library.

5. Holiday Cheer: Decorate with Christmas decorations and listen to holly jolly music.

6. More Food: Bake cookies and treats to bring back to school. Nutrition is extremely important for studying.

7. Wine Night/Day: Plan a cozy wine day with family in order to celebrate your lack of movement from the house. No traffic for you!

8. Stretching: By stretching you can enjoy the freedom of movement that you wouldn't normally have if you were stuck in the mall.

9. Cash: Count all the money that you have in your wallet - all of the money that you didn't spend shopping today. Don't tell anyone tho, you may be stuck buying drinks when you get back to school.

10. Shopping: Plan your Christmas shopping for Saturday afternoon - you can enjoy the sales while knowing that you didn't get hit in the face by someone's purse this year.

Do you hate Black Friday shopping & think these pictures are fabulous/super unrealistic? If you are like me and believe both of those things, share or comment!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
