What About Thanksgiving?
Huffington Post

Everyone is so excited for Halloween, dressing up getting candy, scary costumes...then comes Christmas, right? Pretty lights, snow, presents, and Santa Claus is on everyone's minds after Halloween. WRONG! Y'all are skipping over the tastiest holiday yet...Thanksgiving!!!!

Thanksgiving matters! I am so sick of everyone looking over turkey day and skipping right to Christmas. I'm not ready for Christmas music and the snow and Christmas scents of the season. I want gravy boats and wishbones, I want a cranberry relish scented wax melt and a mountain of mashed potatoes! We need some Thanksgiving music in our lives (someone write some please). November is too early for "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas".

Sure, you get together with your family on Christmas and spend time with them. But you're not thinking about spending time with them and being thankful for their presence, you're excited to see what you're getting gift-wise. Thanksgiving is a time to embrace your family and let them know how much you appreciate them, be thankful for everything you have and not worry about what you don't have.

So when Thanksgiving Day comes around and you're all FINALLY excited about your mountains of potatoes and your streams of gravy, I don't want to see one picture of your plates since you went right from Halloween to Christmas and basically shit on Thanksgiving.

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.

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.
