Thanksgiving break is next week and while we're all longing for that sweet post-midterm rest and catching up with family and friends over an enormous home-cooked meal, I'm sure we'll also miss a few of BU's classic cuisine options once we're gone.

Here are a few Thanksgiving classics, Terrier Style.

1.) Turkey -> Cane's Chicken Fingers

Let's be real Cane's sauce beats gravy any day.


2.) Stuffing -> Rhett's Tator Tots at the GSU

All the delicious carbs goodness of Thanksgiving stuffing in a convenient tot-shaped package.

3.) Green Beans -> Dining Hall Salad Bar

Green beans are the dish you add to the side of the plate to hopefully offset the mounds of butter, bread, and sweet treats your grabbing and trick yourself into making the 'healthy choice.'

Similarly, you tell yourself hitting up the salad bar in Warren will offset those three pieces of pizza back at your table.

4.) Mashed Potatoes -> Dorm Room Easy Mac

The beloved Thanksgiving staple and its college counterpart. Both likely to start heated debates over if lumpy vs smooth potatoes are better and how much water you should ACTUALLY add to that Easy Mac cup.

5.) Cranberry Sauce -> Frat Party Jello Shots

Wiggly, vaguely fruit flavored, and something you probably never consume outside of its one particular setting.

6.) Corn on the Cob -> Microwaved Popcorn

Does this count as a vegetable?

7.) Any Version of Casserole -> Care Packages From Home

There's something about casserole's that just screams homey. Hearty and easy to bake, casseroles are typically the go-to option for pot-lucks or comforting a grieving friend or neighbor.

And just like a casserole, some colleges care packages are amazing (stuffed with chocolate. nail polish and Dunkin' gift cards) While others are...questionable at best (Looking at your stack of old magazines from 2007 and new toothbrush).

8.) Pumpkin Pie -> Pumpkin Spice Latte

Because we all know any true basic BU student would choose their precious PSL over an extra slice of dessert any day of the week.

9.) Pecan Pie -> Insomnia Cookies

For those of us who look forward to dessert more than any other part of their holiday meal, BU's own Insomnia Cookies will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth. Insomnia offers a ton of freshly baked flavors from Mint Chocolate Chunk to Cranberry Macadamia Nut~

10.) Wine -> Wine

Why mess with something that works?

11.) Thanksgiving Leftover Sandwiches -> T Anthony's Mozzarella Stick Pizza

Just as how the classic Day after Thanksgiving leftover sandwiches combines all your favorite holiday classics in a new, delicious way, T Anthony's legendary pizza topped with fried mozzarella sticks is an innovation in the fine art of drunk munchies.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
