We’re all counting down the days, hours, and minutes until Thanksgiving break—a sweet week of blissful peace and time with family and friends from home. No exams and no 40-page readings due tomorrow, annotated and everything.
But what happens on the Thursday evening after the turkey’s been devoured and everyone is tired from playing football outside?
That’s right: Black Friday. And we all know the process that it includes.
1. Getting ready to leave the house right after dinner.
There’s no time to watch a sad, heart-warming movie about dogs on Netflix so we can all cry together after stuffing ourselves; Beats are on sale at Target!
2. Finding a place to park.
You’ve memorized the mall parking lot after circling it 50 or so times.
3. Getting to those sweet deals.
Cornrows optional.
4. (Trying) to avoid getting trampled by other frantic shoppers.
Just walk it off, you need to get those boots before anyone else does.
5. Go to sleep at 10 a.m. on actual Black Friday so tomorrow you can show off your new haul.
Who says you can’t ball on a budget?
Happy Thanksgiving and have fun on Black Friday!
