Within recent years, it appears that "Black Friday" - the Friday following Thanksgiving Day - has become very much a part of American culture and the kick-off of the holiday shopping season.
According to the National Retail Foundation, 92 million people shopped on Black Friday this year, including Michigan State University finance senior Marc Chiodo.
"I normally go Black Friday shopping every year," Chiodo said. "This year my friend and I went to Micro Center, which is a computer store."
Similar to Chiodo, MSU professional writing junior Sarah Waldrop shopped on Black Friday.
"My friends and I were actually out until 4 A.M. in the morning shopping the Black Friday deals," Waldrop said.
Waldrop has also worked on Black Friday in recent years.
"I was a Victoria's Secret sales rep," Waldrop said. "It was very hectic compared to other work days, which is pretty obvious."
