Thanksgiving: a heaven on Earth until your stomach starts hurting

Eight Must-Have Foods at Thanksgiving
greatist.com

I love Thanksgiving. It's as simple as that. I love being with family, friends, food and more food. There are numerous dishes that are served on the table for the Thanksgiving holiday; however, my ideal menu has the following eight dishes.

1. Mac & Cheese

This dish is truly a gift sent from heaven. The more cheese, the better. If there's no macaroni and cheese present at the table, count me walking out the door and never coming back (just kidding).

2. Ham

Since I'm not a fan of turkey, (what a shame) I'm always looking for a delicious, glazed ham on the table for Thanksgiving.

3. Pot Roast

If for whatever reason there isn't ham present, pot roast is the other go-to choice of meat that I would happily eat. Please, make sure that it's well done!

4. Bunny Brown n Serve Rolls


These rolls are MANDATORY at any Thanksgiving meal I go to. These are some of the best rolls that you will ever eat. The best way to serve these rolls is to put them in the oven for a short time. Before you put them in the oven, put some butter on the top of the rolls. These rolls are addicting, so make sure you buy a lot because they will run out fast!

5. Southern style green beans

Of course, there has to be at least one vegetable option on the menu. That vegetable would be Southern style green beans with ham hocks and bacon. The green beans should not be crunchy; they should melt in your mouth and savory.

6. Baked Candied yams

These aren't your regular sweet potatoes. These yams could easily pass for dessert because of the sugar content, but it's Thanksgiving! Who cares?

7. Cajun Dirty Rice/ Rice Dressing

Let the starches continue! Cajun dirty rice is a simple dish that's easy to make. Rice and ground beef are your main ingredients, but feel free to add any type of onion, bell pepper, or seasonings.

8. Sweet potato pie

We can't forget dessert! You know you have to fit dessert in somehow. What better way to do that than eating sweet potato pie? If I come to your house for Thanksgiving, just reserve a sweet potato pie just for me. Thank you!

Whatever your menu is for Thanksgiving, always remember: if you want something specifically, U NAMEEEE IT!!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
