New York Times Prompt

When we were asked to write from a list of 500 prompts, I decided I was going to write about the 500th prompt, even before I saw what it was. Although this was a shot in the dark, I'm glad that I chose 500: What would you wait in line for? I have actually waited in line for a lot of things. My experience with waiting in lines mainly occurs on Black Friday. Black Friday of 2016 was the most invigorating Black Friday of my life. My mom and I began Black Friday shopping at Ulta, which sells mostly perfume and makeup. We waited in line for over an hour, and we eventually got what we wanted. The first store of Black Friday was mainly for my mom. The best deals that I wanted didn't appear until six am the following day.

On the actual Black Friday, my mom and I woke up at 3 am to go to my favorite store, Kinnucans, so that we could get a lot of great deals. First of all, we got up three hours before the store opened because we wanted to be two of the first one hundred people in line, who would get a $25 gift card. Something else that I REALLY wanted was a Patagonia jacket for nearly half of it's original price. I saved nearly seventy dollars at Kinnucans that day. I had so much fun on Black Friday, because I enjoy waited in lines and meeting new people that share common interests.
