The 10 Best and Worst Dishes at Thanksgiving
Youtube

Thanksgiving is almost upon us, my friends. Get out your stretchy pants and leave your belt at home because you know it'll only feel too tight after eating way too much food (but you won't be having any regrets at all and for sure will do it again next year). Paired with the turkey are some of the best dishes that your family members know how to make, and God bless them for it. But of course, not all side dishes were created equally. Some of them reign supreme among the other side dishes, while others sit and stay cold at the table cause THEY'RE DISGUSTING. (In the words of Beyoncé: I ain't sorry). So, which dish is ranked where on the Thanksgiving Food Chain? Well, here is the rank of the best 5 and worst 5 side dishes at the Thanksgiving table.


Worst Dish #5: Beets

Honestly, I can't even stand the smell of beets; keep them away from the Thanksgiving table, they don't belong here.


Best Dish #5: Corn Pudding

Corn pudding seriously makes me feel #blessed. It can be sweet, it can be more salty, it can be AMAZING. Bless you, corn pudding.


Worst Dish #4: Baked Carrots

Carrots should not be soft and mushy. I'm going to repeat that for the people in the back, CARROTS. SHOULD. NOT. BE. SOFT. AND. MUSHY.


Best Dish #4: Macaroni and Cheese

Delicious, cheesy goodness, YES LORD I AM THANKFUL FOR MACARONI AND CHEESE.


Worst Dish #3: Peas

I know maybe like 5 people total who actually enjoy eating peas - so why do they keep showing up at Thanksgiving? Go away, peas, no one even invited you here.


Best Dish #3: Apple Pie

All while I'm sitting there eating my turkey, I'm dreaming about dessert. More specifically, I'm dreaming about some apple pie in my belly.


Worst Dish #2: Pureed Squash

Get out of here with this stuff showing up looking like a pudding imposter - or more like looking up something the dog threw up. Boy BYE.


Best Dish #2: Rolls

Homemade, store bought, french, sourdough, white, wheat, with sesame seeds, without sesame seeds, croissants, baguettes - I don't care what kind of bread it is, I just want it and I want it now.


Worst Dish #1: Brussel Sprouts

These little things don't even look good, literally why do people consume there? And why do they think they should be present on the table at Thanksgiving?


Best Dish #1: Stuffing (The artist formerly known as Dressing)

It smells delicious, it looks delicious, it IS delicious. Stuffing is seriously a blessing to every Thanksgiving table it is on.


Happy Thanksgiving everyone, I hope even if you don't enjoy all the dishes on the table, you enjoy the company sitting around it!

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.

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.
