Sorry Santa, but the greatest gift I can receive is mashed potatoes and gravy.

When the clock strikes midnight and it's officially November, everyone who celebrates Christmas jumps on that train and seems to become enthralled in the upbeat Christmas songs and light-hearted decorations, forgetting about Thanksgiving.

A true travesty.

Now, I am not bashing people for celebrating Christmas the moment the 'Halloween season' ends. I am saying that Thanksgiving is a great holiday, that shouldn't be surpassed and deserves to be celebrated accordingly, decorations and all.

Christmas enthusiasts will claim that Thanksgiving is inferior since it lacks fun songs, decorations, or a Santa Clause to bring you gifts.

In my opinion, Thanksgiving is better than Christmas and is the GOAT when it comes to holidays.

"Thanksgiving doesn't have fun songs."


Well yes there are not any popular main-streamed Thanksgiving songs. But, who needs to be singing when you are too busy stuffing your face with delicious food all day?

Certainly, not I. Mashed potatoes and gravy do deserve their own songs, though. Bob's Burgers seems to be on it.

"There are no Thanksgiving decorations."

False! If you are a true decorator, you will be able to decorate for every single holiday with no excuse. Walmart does sell Thanksgiving decorations, but you have to purchase them before Halloween ends. Since Walmart becomes 'Christmas Central' on Nov. 1- fueling the Christmas takeover.

"There's no Santa Clause"

Santa Clause delivers gifts to all the children in the world who have not been naughty during the past year.

My gift to myself for not being naughty: consuming mass amounts of mashed potatoes and gravy on the one day of the year when it's culturally accepted, Thanksgiving day.

One of the greatest gifts I can receive from someone is good food, sorry Santa but you don't make the cut.

Thanksgiving is the GOAT when it comes to holidays because it's a day to give thanks for all the blessings in your life and a day to eat copious amounts of great food, with minimal guilt.

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.
