Thanksgiving Foods: Ranked

Every Thanksgiving, we all gather around to eat food that we don't eat at any other time of the year. There is a definitive ranking to which of these foods is best, and here it is.

1. Pie

My favorite is cherry, but pumpkin pie is king. If you can get away with eating dessert first, i would highly recommend.

2. Crescent Rolls

My family only has crescent rolls at Thanksgiving, so these are a real treat. So flaky!

3. Mashed Potatoes

Pour the gravy on!! Mashed potatoes taste so much better at Thanksgiving.

4. Green Bean Casserole

The only time eating vegetables is fun is when you're eating them in a casserole.

5. Turkey

The main dish. It's good, especially if done well (I've been lucky to have eaten good turkey over my years), but it's not a showstopper. The sides are really the interesting part of Thanksgiving.

6. Cranberry Sauce

You either hate it or love it. I've always been indifferent, so I put it toward the bottom.

7. Stuffing

The only thing it's good for is sopping up extra gravy, unless it's really, really good with lots of meat. Otherwise, it's just a plate filler.

8. Salad

This is only on the list because someone in your family required that a REAL vegetable be present.

9. Sweet potatoes

Upon asking around, this was found to be the least favorite Thanksgiving food. Who knew sweet potatoes were so hated?

To summarize, no one's complaining about Thanksgiving food. A day dedicated to giving thanks and eating with family and friends? Count me in!!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
