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!

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
