10 Appearances To Look Forward To In The 2015 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

Every year on Thanksgiving Day, my sister and I wake up just before 9 a.m. to get ready to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. It has been a tradition in our family since we were young—sitting on our couch in our pajamas and nestled in our blankets. During the parade, we switch back and forth between NBC and ABC. If you enjoy watching broadway performances, you probably just watch the parade on NBC. If you prefer seeing all of the different floats and balloons, then CBS is the way to go. On both channels, the reporters always interview actors and actresses from tv shows on their networks. It is one of my favorite parts of the parade. The following are people or things I am looking forward to see during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.


1. Shawn Mendes

Even though he is Canadian, I wouldn't mind listening to Shawn sing a few tunes at the Thanksgiving Day Parade. I think he is the new "Justin Bieber."

2. Jordin Sparks



When Jordin went on tour with the Jonas Brothers a few year ago, I got to meet her before the concert. She was so sweet and took the time to autograph my CD. She is one of the only American Idol finals to make it big. I love her musical style!

3. The Cast of School of Rock: The Musical



Remember that movie when Jack Black disguised himself as a substitute teacher and created a band with his "students." Now there is an new adaptation into a musical!

4. Mariah Carey


Carey song, "All I Want for Christmas," never get old. It gets me in the Christmas spirit.

5. Andy Grammer


"It's fine by me" if Andy performs at the parade.

6. Panic! At the Disco


Their song, "I Write Sins Not Tragedies," takes me back to my middle songs dances. I can still recite the whole song!

7. Daughtry


Daughter is probably the only rock group I will listen to. Again, he is another singer from American Idol that made it big.

8. Questlove


If you didn't know, Questlove is a member of The Roots who is the official band of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. He usually has a comb in his afro.

9. Tom Turkey Float


This is one of my favorite floats in the parade. Seeing it just gets me in the thanksgiving spirit!

10. Santa Claus

Who doesn't love seeing Santa Claus! It means Christmas is right around the corner!


Well, there you have it! So on Thursday at 9 a.m. grab a blanket and take a seat on your couch to enjoy one of the best parades of the year.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
