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.

Turkey for daaaaaays!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
