11 Steps To Make Your Thanksgiving Pinterest-ing
Delightfull

Pinterest, the home to all things crafty and cute.

Although most do-it-yourself recipes and crafts "pinned" to this site seem to require a lot of invested time and effort, your Thanksgiving festivities will be the talk of the town if you consider the following 11 Pinterest items.

1. Serve a turkey veggie tray.

This uniquely decorated appetizer is a great way to begin any Thanksgiving Day feast! Learn how to make it here. Substitute these veggies for your favorites to personalize the dish.

2. Create a Thankful Tree and have everyone participate.

Let us not forget the true meaning of Thanksgiving — being thankful! Have each guest jot down what they are thankful for and hang it on the tree. It's an easy do-it-yourself project that involves everyone, and allows them to think about what they are thankful for.

3. Decorate with DIY leaf candle holders.

Would this even be a do-it-yourself list without a mason jar craft? The answer is no. Learn how to make these festive decorations here.

4. Curate a mean fireplace mantle display.

Fall leaves and pumpkins are a must when decorating your home for the season. Go wild with all things fall to give your mantle the decorative spirit it needs. Be creative with it — design the area to fit your home and personal style the best.

5. Offer your guests a game of fall-themed tic-tac-toe.

We all know there's usually no winner during this game; however, after a full meal of turkey, mashed potatoes and green bean casserole, you may be able to slip by with a win! This do-it-yourself project is cute, interactive and perfect for the guests. See how to make it here.

6. Set up a caramel apple bar.

Not only does this look fun, but also delicious! Get your guests involved in creating their own dessert in this do-it-yourself caramel apple bar. Using simply a muffin tin, lay out a variety of toppings along with apple slices and caramel. Genius, I know.

7. Have something for the little ones to do.

To keep the children entertained throughout the evening, create activities for them to participate in! This craft will be fun to construct and remind them what this holiday is really about.

8. Serve a festive, adult beverage.

This delicious apple-y drink will totally hit the spot and pair beautifully with your Thanksgiving meal. It's cozy, boozy and oh-so-fall. Get the recipe here.

9. Decorate the table.

Nothing screams "Thanksgiving" more than a fall themed tablescape, including a plethora of candles, leaves and pumpkins. This is just one example of the many looks you can go for when decorating your table this year.

10. Make sure the house smells great throughout the day and night.

A great smelling home is a welcoming home! Make the whole house smell like fall by simmering a mixture of fruits and spices in a crockpot. Leave the mixture heating all day long to prolong the festive aroma. Get the directions for this here.

11. Finish off the night with an amazing dessert.

Though the entire meal is delicious, dessert is debatably the best part of the night. There are tons of recipes to choose from, so pick your favorite(s) and pin them to your autumn board so that when Thanksgiving day is here, you are ready to bake!

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.

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.

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.
