It is that time of year when Thanksgiving is upon us. Finally we can feast on endless amounts of food and not be judged for it. But don't forget to be thankful for the blessings you have, because that is the true meaning of Thanksgiving. Although there are many, here are some of the best parts about Thanksgiving.

1. Having a day off to relax and eat tons of food.

You can do that any day of the year, but at least on Thanksgiving no one judges you for it.

2. Pumpkin pie

If there’s one food I have to eat on Thanksgiving, it’s pumpkin pie. And if you don’t cover your piece with whipped cream, I will silently judge you.

3. Crescent rolls

Screw carbohydrates, drown a crescent roll in butter and be proud. After all, what could be more delicious?!

4. Thanksgiving Day Parade

This is one tradition that never seems to get old. It’s entertaining and such a fun way to celebrate the holiday.

5. Cranberry sauce

Even if you don’t eat this, Thanksgiving is not complete without it.

6. Playing games with friends and family

My family and I have started this tradition where we play a different game on Thanksgiving each year. It is always tons of fun and we laugh the whole time.

7. Inviting pretty much anyone you want

Thanksgiving is the one holiday where everyone is more accepting of one another and treats each other with kindness, like inviting someone who might not have a place to go.

8. Napping after dinner

Naps are not only accepted but they’re encouraged on Thanksgiving, aka the best day of the year.

9. Appreciating others and expressing thanks

For me, nothing feels better than reminding myself all I have to be thankful for and reminding loved ones how much they mean to me.

10. Decorating for Christmas the day after

It’s never too early to get excited about Christmas.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
