A Tribute to Thanksgiving; An Overlooked Holiday!

Thanksgiving is usually overlooked between two major holidays that everyone loves to make a big deal out of. Halloween and Christmas are huge holidays that usually make money in their own way. When Halloween is done Christmas products are all over the stores. This creates a sad overlook over a holiday that has so many different loving benefits.

Thanksgiving is a time for family just like Christmas but the benefit for Thanksgiving is being able to spend time with family and friends without having to spend money on costumes and gifts for everyone. It creates an environment that can make everyone feel thankful and special bonding so family and friends can grow closer. Thanksgiving gets everyone in the kitchen to pitch in and for all those football fans out there the games are all on! This can also let the kids watch the morning parade before the games and lift the house with sounds of being happy laughter and love.

Food is always a good way to bring family together! Thanksgiving is a day of food and being thankful for everything you have in life. Its a time to put aside our differences and bond together as family and friends. This allows grandparents to bake with their grandchildren; for sons, brothers, fathers, even mothers and daughters to watch the parades and games and for everyone to end their days cuddle up with hot apple cider or hot chocolate going around the living room saying what you are thankful for.

So getting past the big decorations and giant scene Halloween or Christmas can cause Thanksgiving provides a calm and intimate way to reconnect with family! So have a great Thanksgiving!

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.
