Happy Friday!

Happy Friday everyone! Yes, it's Friday!
Well, it's not actually Friday. Only for us because after today, there's no school for the rest of the week. With Thanksgiving Break fast approaching, I want to talk about something totally irrelevant to Thanksgiving, holiday shopping!
It seems Christmas has been coming earlier year after year (the Christmas tree at my mall has been up for over a week now), and everyone wants to get a leg up on sales. The first huge sale is the day after Thanksgiving, Black Friday.
I used to get Black Friday mixed up with that other holiday where people put black stuff on their forehead. But that's Ash Wednesday. Sorry totally random but I just got reminded of it. Some people are Black Friday psychos who leave their house at like 1 in the morning (side note: my friend RS's dad wants to go to the mall at midnight this year to get first dibs. That's how ridiculous people get). Sometimes it's worth it, and sometimes it's not. The thing about Black Friday is that it lures you in with promises of golden sales, and then you get whacked in the face with the throngs of people racing to get the best loot. I am going to participate this year though because the best friend went last year and got awesome Ray Bans. I' m looking for an elliptical or a bike or something, so it's a good time to save on something big like that.
Also, about gifting. I especially find it hard to pick out the perfect gift for everyone. And, whenever people would ask me what I wanted I'd forget. Go onto thethingsiwant.com to make a personalized wish list that you can direct friends and family to. The first step is to add "Add to The Things I Want" on your favorite tabs, and whenever you come across something you like, you click it. It gives the website the price, place you can buy it, and any notes and it is automatically dropped onto your personalized wish list. Pretty chill, huh bro?
