A Letter To Thanksgiving
The Original Thanksgiving

Dear Thanksgiving,

It’s been quite some time since I’ve last been with you. It’s hard to believe the time of being with you again is here. I must admit one thing, I’ve missed you. I know you think that because Christmas is my favorite holiday, I don’t love you, but that isn’t true. You are one of a kind, a day of giving thanks, and being with your loved ones eating delicious food. Yes, Christmas has the presents, but Thanksgiving, you are irresistible.

I missed turkey. Yes, I know that sometimes I have turkey bacon or sliced turkey on my sandwich, but it is no Thanksgiving turkey. I can’t lie, though; stuffing is the one thing I missed the most. Oh, how I can eat stuffing leftovers for days… and the cranberry sauce! How could I not eat spoonfuls of cranberry sauce?

I’m always the happiest eating all the food on Thanksgiving. You bring me so much joy and happiness. Especially after the food coma, the nap is the best out of all the naps I’ve ever taken. Something about you just excites me every year for more. One last thing, I must give a shout out to the pumpkin pie, the ultimate of pies, the alpha male of pies. How do you taste more delicious each Thanksgiving?

I look forward to seeing you November 24.

Sincerely,

The hungriest girl

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
