Thanksgiving As Told By The Weasleys

If the Weasleys celebrated Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving is one of the best holidays. It's simple with minimal decorations. You get together with family, eat, and watch football or nap. Then the next day, you wake up ridiculously early (or you don't sleep), and you go Black Friday shopping for all of the Christmas presents you haven't bought yet. Though British wizards don't celebrate Thanksgiving, here's what it would be like if they did.

1. Coming home

Finals are fast approaching, but you're ready for a break. You load your car and rush home to eat food that you didn't have to cook, to see your family, and to avoid homework.

2. At first, everything is great

Like every time you've ever come home, it starts out on a good note. Everyone is happy to see each other.

3. Reuniting with your sibling(s)


You fist bump your brother, you guys make fun of each other, and then you go about your separate lives in the same house.

4. Seeing all the family

This is the part where you realize how much you love your family and how important they are to you. It's nice to see them all in the same place.

5. Seeing the people in your family you don't like

This is the part where you're ready to leave again. You acknowledge these people in your family and move on.

6. Dinner

Turkey, mashed potatoes, rolls, stuffing, you load them all onto your plate. Food is definitely something you're thankful for.

7. Some family comes in late

It's always the same people that do this. Everyone is already sitting down and eating dinner when they walk through the door.

8. Someone starts talking politics

You hear the words "Trump," "Democrats," "Republicans" and the tension in the room hits a new level. Your uncles talk about how great Trump is. Your cousins call for impeachment. One of the younger kids keeps chanting "Fake news."

9. The fighting

Politics turns into personal feuds and suddenly, everyone's angry. Grandma calls your cousin a hippie. Grandpa makes some racist comments. Your aunt rants about the gay agenda.

10. Dessert

Then someone steps in and decides it's dessert time. The pies distract from the fighting. You grab a piece of your favorite and second favorite desserts.

11. The food coma

You ate fast so that your stomach wouldn't realize it was full, until now. Time to climb into a recliner and nap.

12. Watching football

With a bunch of kids running around, it's impossible to sleep, so you watch football instead.

13. Black Friday Ads

Your aunts bust out the Black Friday ads. Everyone passes them around, making plans for the next morning. You look just to look.

14. Ready for Christmas

Now that Thanksgiving is officially over, it's time to put up the Christmas tree and blast Christmas songs for a month!

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.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
