This Thanksgiving break was different from most. My friend came home with me because she lives in Seattle and didn't have a ticket home for the break (her name is Rachel and she plays the violin too). It was nice to have my friend there, but at the same time when a guest is at your house, you feel like you can't fully let down and be yourself beacause you are the host and have to be on your best behavior. We went shopping on Black Friday and bought a lot of unecessary things just because they were on sale. I had never shopped on Black Friday before becuase I heard it's crazy...and it was. We went to Northpark mall in Dallas and it was a struggle to even find a parking spot. Once we got in, we felt like sardines in a can, it was so hard to move around and people's manners seemed to go right out the window. My friend and I did buy a few things, but I would honestly rather pay more money and have less crowds than go shopping on Black Friday again.
