Everyone has their own opinions on Thanksgiving, but these are my best and worst parts of the holiday.
1. Best: The food.Â
Between the turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and pie how could you not love the holiday. It is a day revolving around eating delicious food. What's not to enjoy about that.
2: Best: No school.
I have learned in college that you don't get off every holiday. For example, I had 4 classes on Columbus Day. Everyone gets off thanksgiving however, and whether its only 5 days or you get more than a week, not having to worry about school work for any amount of time is a blessing.
3: Best: Post-Thanksgiving meal nap.Â
This might not apply to everyone, but after stuffing up on food and wine, I always make time for a nap. While everyone watches football, I pass out until it's time for more thanksgiving activities.
4: Worst: Family members asking too many questions.Â
Don't get me wrong, it's great to see the family I haven't seen in a long time. But I know that this also requires being asked a million questions. I can list some I know I'm already going to get: How are you liking school? What's your major? And the worst: Do you have a boyfriend?
5: Worst: Post-dinner games.Â
Again, this might be more specific to my family, but after pie and football everyone sits around a table and plays games. I dread this. The games are not fun and everyone gets too competitive. Every year I am forced to play or else I am called "boring".
