NBC

Come one, come all! Come join us at the Macy's 90th Thanksgiving Day Parade! Balloons and floats and singers galore. Clowns and elves and Santa plus more! The streets of the city-that-never-sleeps are going to be filled with people watching, hugging, loving, singing and laughing.

Celebrating. There are going to be people celebrating Thanksgiving and Christmas and Hanukkah and everything they want to be celebrating.

Families will be together. Children will be seeing elves and toys and things come to life that they could never imagine seeing. There will be rag-dolls walking around and Santa's elves trying to corral them, fish and pool balls running to say "HI!" Cops and (not so bad) robbers causing mischief in the streets, taxicabs running amuck and not a cab fare!

Watching this event on television for the past 16 years (that I can remember) has been my favorite past-time and tradition (aside from the stuffing that goes with the turkey) of Thanksgiving. Curling up on the couch with my cousins and grandpa (may he rest in peace, he would be ecstatic if he knew I was in the parade) to watch it.

Now, I get to live it. How freaking COOL is that?

Anyway. Watching the parade is the most amazing thing. The balloons and the floats and the singers and the people you get to interact with. The memories you get to make watching little kids have fun.

Wave, smile, throw confetti and enjoy! Get ready for Macy's 90th Annual Thanksgiving Day Parade because we are ready for YOU.

Have a happy, healthy, safe and fun-filled Thanksgiving!

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.

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.
