Forget Your Turkey, Feed Me Crescent Rolls And Nothing Else On Thanksgiving

I can't imagine what Thanksgiving would be like without crescent rolls.

Forget Your Turkey, Feed Me Crescent Rolls And Nothing Else On Thanksgiving

You can always tell when it's time for Thanksgiving dinner. Assorted plates line the table, topped with a classic mix of sweet and savory food: cranberries and turkey, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, and maple bacon bits mixed in green beans. Each food is amazing in its own way; however, the warm basket of crescent rolls is the only thing I really care about when filling my plate.

Sure, I try a little bit of everything on the counter, but if the meal consisted solely of crescent rolls, I would not complain.

I remember when my grandmother would make the crescent rolls, and my cousins and I would go crazy over them. Our mothers would joke that there was nothing special about our grandmother's rolls because she bought them from the freezer section at the grocery store like everyone else. But at the time, I couldn't tell the difference between store-bought and made-from-scratch.

Despite being able to taste the difference, I would still prefer frozen crescent rolls heated up in the oven when compared with certain classics like stuffing and cranberry sauce. Those are not my vibe.

Crescent rolls are my vibe. Light, flakey, buttery goodness all wrapped in the shape of a moon. Aesthetically pleasing and tasty, am I right? I could honestly eat six and be unashamed.

I eat turkey, mashed potatoes, and brussel sprouts year-round, but I only get to enjoy crescent rolls twice a year: Thanksgiving and Christmas. This means that I only have a select window in which I can savor their goodness. Now is the time, people. Who's with me?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
