Prepare yourself, it's almost turkey day!

1. Happiness

Giphy

Thanksgiving is such a great time to enjoy good food and good company, making it a very joyful holiday. Everyone has their picks of favorite Thanksgiving foods and Thanksgiving day traditions, that you always look forward to indulging in. It's hard to not be excited for Thanksgiving in some capacity and to start remembering all the things you are grateful for.

2. Patience

Giphy

Everyone can relate to waking up on Thanksgiving morning to all sorts of wonderful smells dissipating through your house or a family members house. All day long you have to wait and watch all sorts of delicious food being made and the anticipation just builds until it's finally time for Thanksgiving dinner.

3. Excitement

Giphy

Food, football, friends, and family, so many things to be grateful and excited for. My favorite thing to be excited for on Thanksgiving is seeing my family and of course the pumpkin pie.

4. Thrill

Giphy

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, so is Black Friday. The thrills of getting the best deals on Christmas presents will soon be present. And don't forget about Cyber Monday, so get ready to shop until you drop.

5. Thankfulness

Giphy

Everyone has so many things to be thankful for and the holiday season helps us to celebrate all those reasons. I know sometimes everyone gets caught up in the craziness of life to remember all the blessings in their lives.

6. Relaxation

Giphy

Thanksgiving break brings a time to enjoy yourself, relax, and just chill. After Thanksgiving dinner, break out the comfy pants and prop up your feet because it's relaxation time! You can read a book, review for upcoming finals, or just catch up with friends and family. Watching Thanksgiving night football is another must have thing to do. Also, it's a perfect time to put up holiday decorations if you haven't already done so.

7. Awkwardness

Giphy

Everyone has that weird family member who is so pressed to ask about your life. "How's school," "Are you talking to anyone," and "How do your grades look" are all the dreaded questions that we all seem to get bombarded with during Thanksgiving break. As much as it sucks, you just have to push through all those awkward questions and come up with some creative answers that will suffice the curiously in friends and family.

8. Satisfaction

Giphy

With your belly full of all sorts of yummy foods, Thanksgiving is definitely a satisfying holiday. You get a break from the craziness of school which means time to hang fun and enjoy all the great things you are thankful for.

9. Stress

Giphy

After Thanksgiving comes Christmas and all the other holidays, which means you have to figure out your Christmas wish list like yesterday. This can be a stressful process but will ensure that you get some sweet presents this holiday season.

10. Christmas Spirit

Giphy

I know that there is much debate over the proper protocol of when to celebrate certain holidays, but no one can debate that the second Thanksgiving is over, it is one hundred percent Christmas time. Get your ugly sweaters out, start hanging some tinsel, and singing Christmas carols because it's time to celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, and/or Kwanzaa.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college 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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
