I don't know about you, but cranberry sauce sits in a container on my family's Thanksgiving table untouched every year. In every family, there is some food during Thanksgiving that is always a hit or a miss. So with this listicle, I am going to rank my favorite to least favorite Thanksgiving foods.

1. Mashed potatoes

These are the holy grail of sides during Thanksgiving. Mashed potatoes bring so much joy to my family with how fluffy and delicious they are. I cannot wait to eat five bowls of these this year.

2. Sweet potato casserole

This is a special dish because it can either be a dessert or a side. Sweet potato casserole is the best when it's filled with marshmallows and brown sugar. Yum!

3. Ham

My family usually has ham during Thanksgiving and it is the best. It's always savory and filling. What a great main course!

4. Hawaiian sweet rolls

These are never missing from my family's dinner table. When they are straight out of the oven and filled with butter, they are wonderful.

5. Pumpkin pie

This traditional dessert is the best when served with whipped cream on top. Nothing says Thanksgiving like a real pumpkin pie.

6. Turkey

I guess turkey can be on this list as well, especially considering it's usually the most traditional meal for most people. The true question is if you're a dark meat person or a white meat person. Apparently, this is very important.

7. Green bean casserole

I never touch this stuff. Maybe it's the fried onions on top, or the fact that cream of mushroom soup is layered within it, but this stuff is not my favorite. I will pass on this always.

8. Cranberry sauce

Does anyone know how to actually eat this? Does it go on top of turkey? Or do you eat it like Jell-O? Whoever came up with this is severely lacking in the taste bud department.

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.
