I rank some of the most common Thanksgiving food in light of the holiday.

Thanksgiving Food: Ranked

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and while it's a great holiday to get together with family and gives thanks for everything you have, it's also a good time to pig out on some seasonal grub before heading back to college for another two or three weeks of dread.

Here's a list of Thanksgiving food ranked from Best to Worst:

1. Stuffing

OK, so I don't know what your opinions of stuffing are, but mine are strong and positive. Now, I have Thanksgiving twice as my parents are divorced, and each time the stuffing is honestly my favorite part. I feel guilty because I'm not sure who makes it on either side, but shout out to that relative because it's always so good. It's never dry, it always has just the right amount of moisture and flavor. I didn't even know what was IN stuffing until I was about 17 years-old, I just knew it was my favorite part.


2. Mashed potatoes

Potatoes in any form are immediately better than any other food. You have french fries, baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, tater tots, fried potatoes, hash browns... the possibilities are endless. I haven't yet formed my opinion on whether or not having them with or without the skin on is better (because it's certainly not worse), so I'll have to get back to you on that.


3. Rolls

The rolls are honestly important to me because they're the staple of a good, fulfilling meal, and the kind is also very important. Are they sweet rolls? Hawaiian? Kaiser? Are they warm when served or room temperature? What about the size? Big or small? Do you definitely need two or would one be enough? All of these factors go into their ranking, but since there's so many different kinds, they get 3rd place.


4. Turkey

It may or may not be sacrilege to you that I put turkey so far down on a list of Thanksgiving foods, but to be honest, it's never the best part. It's just iconic, it's just THE food we have, it's nothing particularly special.


5. Cranberry anything

OK I know I said nothing on here is bad literally just one sentence ago, but this is bad. I don't know why I have such disdain for cranberry sauce? Jelly? What is it? I don't know, I just know that I hate it.


6. Any vegetables

Disgusting. The Worst, honestly.

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.

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.
