How To Pull Off A Friendsgiving
Thought Catalogue

Thanksgiving has always been an important holiday for me. The food, family time and, the chance to come home makes all the holiday stress worth it. I live in apartment with five people so I though it would be great to host a Friendsgiving. Friendsgiving is a get together with friends filled with food, fun, and memories. It requires a little work but all in all it is totally worth it and, you will have an excuse for an extra turkey meal!

1. Decide who will be the host

The host usually has it at his / her place, they will provide the turkey and place setting.

2. Prepare a Guest list

Make sure everyone is available and can bring a dish!

3. Coordinate who will be bringing what

At Friendsgiving, it is suggested that the food served potluck style. We don't want the host to be overworked.

4. Create a place setting

Matching tableware and any drink not in Solo cup should do. Candles are a great way to add ambience to a stuffy apartment.

5. Eat!


Dig in to a delicious meal!

6. Conversation is key.

Strike up a chat with someone you aren't familiar with. Friendsgiving is a great chance to meet new people in your social group

7. Clean Up

Give the host a hand and make sure that some dishes are taken care of. This gesture can go a long way!

8. Be thankful


When saying your goodbyes, make sure to thank the host and catch up with people at the door.


9. Pass out


Watch an iconic Gossip Girl thanksgiving episode and pass out, tomorrow you have to do this all over again with your own family!

Happy Thanksgiving from yours truly,I hope its filled with turkey, free laundry and your own bed

Love,

Lexi

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
