Thanksgiving is more then a time to gather around the dinner table stuffing your face with turkey, apple pie, and all delicious foods that make you cringe when trying to button your pants. It is a time to give thanks and reflect on what you are thankful for. Yes, our family and friends are the mature responsible things to be thankful for, however us college kids are thankful for more than the traditional "I'm thankful for my family and friends" statement.
