5 Things I Am Looking Forward To On Thanksgiving

One of the most anticipated holidays is coming up. AreGet ready for a day full of food, family time, football, and parades. Time and patience are both needed to prepare for the huge fest on Thanksgiving Day. In addition to fest, there are many other things that will happen on Thanksgiving. While I won't be bringing home a Danish prince like in the Prince & Me, but I will be bringing home my laundry and my hunger. The following are 5 things I am looking forward to on Thanksgiving:

1. Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Laurie Herandez, Ben Rector, Regina Specktor, Tony Bennett, and Sarah McLachlan are some of the many celebrities that will be attending the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. It is a tradition to watch this parade with my family on Thursday morning, and will definitely be continued this year.

2. Pumpkin-favored Everything.

Pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, and pumpkin bars are three foods that my family makes for our Thanksgiving meal.

3. Spending time with my family and friends.

They are the people I am most thankful for.

4. Corn Pudding.

I don't know about you, but this is one of my favorite foods in the world. It's creamy texture and sweet taste is satisfaction.

5. Watching Hallmark Christmas Movies.

Who wouldn't want to watch all 19 new movies that premiere on Hallmark? While most of them are cheesy, they are still entertaining to watch!

Thursday can't come soon enough. The anticipation for all of the food and family and friend time is hard to stand. Happy Thanksgiving!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
