Back Home

Finally, After almost a complete semester i'm back home. It feels different to wake up to a bright sun shine instead of a grey gloomy sky. But as much as i missed California and all my friends and family out here im eager to get back to school and start preparing for my second semester of college. I'm realizing Ogden has become my new home.

The Best Part of Thanksgiving Break BLACK FRIDAY

Every year Black Friday brings dramatic price slashing, massive media coverage and hordes of shoppers. This year is no exception, with reports of a women deploying pepper spray against rival bargain-hunters.

Some 150m people are expected to hit the stores looking for deals this weekend. But the concept is a relatively modern one.

The term was used by police in Philadelphia in the 1960s to describe the massive crowds and traffic jams that hit the sales after Thanksgiving. It wasn't until the 1980s that an alternative theory started to appear, whitewashing Black Friday's reputation. The new definition claimed Black Friday got its name because it marked the start of the shopping season that retailers hoped would take their books out of the red and into the black.

More recently we've seen the arrival of Cyber Monday, when online retailers started offering deals aimed at shoppers returning to work after the Thanksgiving weekend break. But so fierce has been the reaction from bricks-and-mortar retailers, many of whom are increasingly selling online, that the internet retailers broke ranks and started offering discounts well in advance of Monday. Even Apple, which famously doesn't offer discounts, is holding an online sale this year. On Friday.

There's a lot of money at stake. The National Retail Federation expects holiday sales to top $465.6bn this year, up 2.8% on last year. But the reality of overhyped shoppers chasing headline-grabbing discounts can be brutal, as the videos show.
