10 Appearances To Look Forward To In The 2015 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

Every year on Thanksgiving Day, my sister and I wake up just before 9 a.m. to get ready to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. It has been a tradition in our family since we were young—sitting on our couch in our pajamas and nestled in our blankets. During the parade, we switch back and forth between NBC and ABC. If you enjoy watching broadway performances, you probably just watch the parade on NBC. If you prefer seeing all of the different floats and balloons, then CBS is the way to go. On both channels, the reporters always interview actors and actresses from tv shows on their networks. It is one of my favorite parts of the parade. The following are people or things I am looking forward to see during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.


1. Shawn Mendes

Even though he is Canadian, I wouldn't mind listening to Shawn sing a few tunes at the Thanksgiving Day Parade. I think he is the new "Justin Bieber."

2. Jordin Sparks



When Jordin went on tour with the Jonas Brothers a few year ago, I got to meet her before the concert. She was so sweet and took the time to autograph my CD. She is one of the only American Idol finals to make it big. I love her musical style!

3. The Cast of School of Rock: The Musical



Remember that movie when Jack Black disguised himself as a substitute teacher and created a band with his "students." Now there is an new adaptation into a musical!

4. Mariah Carey


Carey song, "All I Want for Christmas," never get old. It gets me in the Christmas spirit.

5. Andy Grammer


"It's fine by me" if Andy performs at the parade.

6. Panic! At the Disco


Their song, "I Write Sins Not Tragedies," takes me back to my middle songs dances. I can still recite the whole song!

7. Daughtry


Daughter is probably the only rock group I will listen to. Again, he is another singer from American Idol that made it big.

8. Questlove


If you didn't know, Questlove is a member of The Roots who is the official band of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. He usually has a comb in his afro.

9. Tom Turkey Float


This is one of my favorite floats in the parade. Seeing it just gets me in the thanksgiving spirit!

10. Santa Claus

Who doesn't love seeing Santa Claus! It means Christmas is right around the corner!


Well, there you have it! So on Thursday at 9 a.m. grab a blanket and take a seat on your couch to enjoy one of the best parades of the year.

5 Benefits Of Learning Different Languages

It's a pain to learn but it's definitely worth it in the end.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time. I'm not complaining, because I'd rather have a whole week off than three days, but there is a lot of down time. Here are some ideas as to what you can do to get the most out of your Thanksgiving break.
