A Very BU Thanksgiving Menu

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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
