The Best Things About Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is approaching fast, which means 2016 is almost over, and Christmas is right around the corner! Thanksgiving is easily my favorite holiday! Here are 10 best things about Thanksgiving!

1. Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes are absolutely my favorite thing! The first thing I think of when heading to Thanksgiving is mashed potatoes. Mmmm. And if you add gravy to them, it's even better!


2. Food In General

Green bean casserole, turkey, macaroni and cheese, bread rolls... Ugh all so delicious! Your options are truly endless on this magnificent day.


3. Family & Friends

Thanksgiving is a GREAT time to spend with family and friends! No matter who you are spending time with, make the most of it and enjoy it!

4. It's Okay To Eat A lot

Eat eat eat! Eat all you want, this is one day that you can eat everything and get a way with it!

5. Dessert

Pies so many pies. Cakes and cookies. Dessert is probably the second best, after mashed potatoes.

6. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

I love the parade. I love seeing the floats. I watch it every year, it's crazy how big the balloons are and how many people it takes to carry them.

7. Having The Day Off

Ahh, a day off of work/school. No worries in the world, except how are you gonna eat all that food.

8. The Time Of Year

Fall is all-around a good time of year. The leaves are gorgeous and depending on where you live, the weather is not too bad.

9. Giving Thanks

Being thankful for the things and people in your life is the best feeling. That is really what Thanksgiving is about. You take time out to be greatful for everything you have been blessed with.

10. The Feeling of Being Super Full

I love the feeling of being full, because the nap you take after eating is by far the best thing in life.

For better or for worse

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
