Although Christopher Columbus may be considered one of the most controversial men in history, (…perhaps with good reasoning. Taking credit for discovering the Americas while he may also be responsible for running native people out of their homelands is pretty controversial.) we’re going to focus on some of the other perks of his legacy.
If there’s one thing college girls can thank Christopher Columbus for, it’s Columbus Day Weekend.
Columbus Day Weekend is undeniably one of the best shopping events of the year. Whether you’re planning to spend all weekend at your favorite mall shopping until you drop or sitting in bed while you simultaneously fill up your online cart and watch Netflix, you can safely bet that your closet is going to be at least a little bit cuter by Tuesday.
Not an awesome online shopper? No worries! Racked.com has compiled a list of the greatest online sales so you can leave the exploring up to good old Christopher. Check it out here!
PS, Columbus may not have actually discovered America…but it’s totally possible that he invented the power point pose that we college girls have grown to love. Thoughts?
