10 Different Ways To Enjoy Yourself On Thanksgiving

One of the greatest things about the fall season is of course, the holidays! Now that Halloween is behind us, it's time to start thinking about the upcoming celebration of Thanksgiving. Here's a list of 10 things that you can do during the Thanksgiving break that doesn't only involve stuffing yourself.

1. Attend (or watch) the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

When we think of Thanksgiving, we also think of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Of course, we can all enjoy watching it from the comfort of our couches, but it's an entirely different experience seeing it in person. If you're thinking about going to the parade, be sure to arrive a couple of hours prior to its start at 9 A.M. to get the best view possible.

2. Go Christmas shopping

It's never too early to start getting ready for Christmas. So go on and buy that Santa inflatable!

3. Start decorating

Decorating is a fun way to channel your creativity and to prepare for the upcoming holiday celebrations.

4. Watch some classic holiday movies

You can never go wrong with just kicking back and enjoying some iconic holiday movies.

5. Have a lazy day

We all need a day where we just do absolutely nothing and relax. The holidays are the perfect time to unwind, not think about responsibilities and reenergize.

6. Spend time with family and friends

Spending valuable time and cherishing the moments and memories you create with your loved one is what the holidays are all about.

7. Bake

Baking is always a good idea, especially if you're someone who is always up to try new recipes and treats.

8. Volunteer

Thanksgiving is about acknowledging the things we have and being grateful for them, but it is also about giving back, especially to those who are in need. The best way to truly get into the holiday spirit is by volunteering at a shelter or soup kitchen and help those less fortunate by bringing some holiday joy into their lives as well.

9. Create Thanksgiving-themed decor

Tap into your inner artist and make some Thanksgiving decor. Or just dress your dog up in a turkey costume. Either way, it gives you something to do.

10. Enjoy the fall weather

The crisp, refreshing fall air is something to embrace, so take a walk and spend time outdoors to enjoy it before winter comes along.

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.
