Why We Cant Forget Thanksgiving
http://www.ellaclaireinspired.com/

With the swing of Halloween being over, everyone jumps at the chance to rush into christmas. I love Christmas and winter, just as much as the next person. Maybe even a little bit more at times. Except for when the snow starts to fall, then I am not such a fan of cold and winter.

But we can not forget what comes in between those holidays. Thats right, Im talking about Thanksgiving. Everyone tends to skip right over the holiday and start freaking out planning their holiday list. I mean I think layaway shopping is going to start during the summer with the way things are going. And what comes after Thanksgiving? The beloved american tradition of Black Friday. Where punching and tackling people to get the latest playstation game is acceptable. Or camping outside of Best Buy for the biggest flat screen television is the most important thing that you can do.

Thanksgiving is a time for family, and the best thing, food. In my family, we have a tradition called PJ Thanksgiving. Yes, you read that right. PJ Thanksgiving is where we stay in our pajamas all day long, that way you don’t have to worry about loosening that belt loop, or worrying about busting your pants open because you had a few too many pieces of turkey. Also, don't even get me started about how amazing the desserts are that we have on Thanksgiving. From the homemade cheesecake to the pumpkin rolls that melt in your mouth.

Something else that is really special about thanksgiving is the macys day parade. For years it has been a tradition to watch the parade in the morning. Ive always wanted to go to new york city and see the parade in person. That is one thing that is definitely on the bucket list for this girl. Its the one day of the year where you can fully appreciate everything you have. Get down to the root of what you are thankful for. Being thankful for your family, and your health, and the life you have. Smiles all day and love fill the air, not masks and blood, or holly and christmas ornaments.

So this thanksgiving tell your family an extra time how much you love them and how thankful you are for them.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
