10 Reasons Why Thanksgiving Should Be Your Favorite Holiday

Some say that the best holiday of the year is Christmas. Others say it's New Year's Eve. But to me, Thanksgiving is the best holiday of the year. It's during the best season of the year (Fall), you get to eat all day (score), and you get to be with the ones you love. Who wouldn't want to celebrate those things? Thanksgiving is one of the most underrated holidays and should be at the top of the "Best Holidays of the Year" List for these reasons:

1. You eat to celebrate.

Who wouldn't love a holiday centered around food? Not only is it centered around food, but it's centered around comfort foods. Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, mac & cheese galore. It's like a dream come true.

2. No one judges you for eating "too much."

Sometimes sweatpants are even encouraged at the dinner table! No one bats an eye when you open up the button of your pants or declare yourself in a "food coma". That's just Thanksgiving.

3. Football

All. Day. And it's the best day to watch it because it's on every sports channel you turn on.

4. It brings the family together.

To bond over food, sports, eating too much, being too full and not feeling a little bit bad about it.

5. It's basically the nap holiday.

Thanks, tryptophan.

6. Turkey > chicken > ham > steak

You get the point. It's the superior meat.

7. It's truly about quality time - and not just about gifts.

Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas, but sometimes it's too much about the material things and not enough of the true meaning of the holiday. Thanksgiving is great because you get one of the best gifts of all - spending quality time with the people you love.

8. The weather is perfect.

You're not cooking in the summer heat and you're also not trapped inside people of a snow storm. I think that Fall is the best holiday and Fall and Thanksgiving go hand in hand

9. It's a time to be thankful for what you have and for the people in your life.

If there's one day out of the year that forces you to be thankful for the things you have, it's Thanksgiving. Sometimes life is hard and you need a day of reflection and what better day than this day.

10. Leftovers

Turkey for daaaaaays!

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
