I love Thanksgiving. It is the perfect time to share with the family and enjoy great food. For me, it is time to watch my favorite Tv shows' Thanksgiving-themed episodes. It is so funny to see all these characters to confront their families and talk about hidden secrets.

The king of Thanksgiving-themed episodes is "Friends." It gave us nine amazing stories of Thanksgiving. My favorite one is when Brad Pitt plays Will, a former classmate of Monica, Rachel and Ross. I cannot forget the episode of old Thanksgivings when we can see all of the characters younger, or the Geller Cup, or Monica with a pirate patch.

The truth is "Friends" showed thirty-three reasons to be Thankful; let me share them with you.

1. Nobody has worse Thanksgivings than Chandler.

2. Our families are awesome. Let’s face it; after Phoebe’s family, ours is just perfect.

3. Unagi. According to Ross, no everybody gets Unagi, but it sounds helpful.

4. You can love and lose a Richard, but you always can have a better second chance, a Chandler.

5. I can make better deserts than Rachel.

6. I am smart enough to not insert my head in a raw turkey.

7. I don’t have a crazy stalker. Joey got Erika who actually believed he was Dr. Ray Ramone.

8. I don’t have a crazy crush with a monkey (I don’t have to say more).

9. I don’t have a failure love like Gunter with Rachel.

10. My best friend is not in Aruba with my ex-fiancé, like Rachel, Barry and Mindy.

11. I have seen better stripers than Danny DeVito.

12. I am not a freaky cleaner like Monica.

13. The copy guy does not lie to me saying he is Ralph Lauren (and I know what Ralph Lauren looks like).

14. I don’t have a jealous and complicate boyfriend like Ross.

15. My friends believe more in my talent than Rachel, Rose, Phoebe, Monica and Chandler in Joey.

16. My apartment is cleaner than Cheryl’s. (Do you remember Rebecca Romijn playing an anthropologist dating Ross?)

17. None of my ex-boyfriends left in hope of winning a Nobel prize.

18. I don’t have a Janice in my life.

19. I sing better than Phoebe.

20. I don’t have a sister making porn movies using my name.

21. I know my lobster is somewhere waiting to meet me (maybe I met him already, and I did not realize it).

22. I am not in love with my best friend partner.

23. I am not dating an ex of my best friends.

24. My hair does not go crazy with humidity.

25. I am working in a research in Russia getting no results after ten years.

26. I am not the public face of Gonorrhea.

27. Dr. Green is not my father in law.

28. He said the right name on the altar.

29. I have never run away at any wedding.

30. Joanna is not my boss or my friend’s date.

31. My job does not request to wear false boobs or roller skates.

32. Either Ross or Monica would give me a message.

33. Bonnie is not dating the guy I like.

I think I am forgetting the most important reason; I must have thankful because I can watch "Friends'" Thanksgiving-themed episodes any time.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
