10 Movies/Shows You Could Watch For Thanksgiving

Everybody knows it's easy to find Halloween or Christmas movies, but what about Thanksgiving? If your favorite holiday is Thanksgiving, you would want to get just as excited for it as other people would for the more popular holidays. Let's not forget about the day of thanks (and stuffing your face), here are 10 things you could watch at home to get you prepped for Thanksgiving!

1. A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

Need I say more? Nothing better than Charlie Brown and friends on Thanksgiving day. (Spoiler: Charlie Brown doesn't kick the football).

2. Garfield's Thanksgiving

When Garfield is literally your spirit animal. This was one of my favorite episodes to watch even if it wasn't time for Thanksgiving! Follow Garfield and his struggle to diet on Thanksgiving day after his doctor tells him he needs to lose a few.

3. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

If you're a comedy lover, you will enjoy this hilarious film. Plus, the movie centers around trying to make it home for a Thanksgiving dinner!

4. All "Friends" Thanksgiving Episodes

I think we can all relate to Joey and his Thanksgiving pants. Some of the best and funniest Friends episodes are the Thanksgiving ones.

5. Pocahontas

Something about this Disney masterpiece always reminds me of the Pilgrims and the Indians on that first Thanksgiving day. When Thanksgiving is just around the river bend, this is a wonderful movie to watch with friends and family.

6. The Blind Side

Such a great movie all about the truth of family and how important it can be in our lives. This heart-filled film will leave you more thankful than ever!

7. The Suite Life of Zack & Cody: Boston Tea Party

Zack and Cody were always the best twins to be around. If you don't remember, there was an episode all about the Boston Tea Party. It was one of my all time favorites.

8. Ratatouille

What's better than a movie all about food when you're trying to get hype for Thanksgiving? This Pixar classic will have you craving a Thanksgiving feast.

9. Remember The Titans

Although this movie does not have much to do with turkey, it has a lot to do with thanks...and football! This is a great family film for the Thanksgiving football watchers out there.

10. House of Turkey

Does anybody remember the House of Mouse on Disney Channel? Well, there's a Thanksgiving episode filled with delightful short cartoons and a Pilgrim theme.

Between all the trick or treating and caroling, it's time to celebrate some delicious food and thanks! What's your favorite Thanksgiving meal?

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

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.
