Forget Your Turkey, Feed Me Crescent Rolls And Nothing Else On Thanksgiving

I can't imagine what Thanksgiving would be like without crescent rolls.

Forget Your Turkey, Feed Me Crescent Rolls And Nothing Else On Thanksgiving

You can always tell when it's time for Thanksgiving dinner. Assorted plates line the table, topped with a classic mix of sweet and savory food: cranberries and turkey, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, and maple bacon bits mixed in green beans. Each food is amazing in its own way; however, the warm basket of crescent rolls is the only thing I really care about when filling my plate.

Sure, I try a little bit of everything on the counter, but if the meal consisted solely of crescent rolls, I would not complain.

I remember when my grandmother would make the crescent rolls, and my cousins and I would go crazy over them. Our mothers would joke that there was nothing special about our grandmother's rolls because she bought them from the freezer section at the grocery store like everyone else. But at the time, I couldn't tell the difference between store-bought and made-from-scratch.

Despite being able to taste the difference, I would still prefer frozen crescent rolls heated up in the oven when compared with certain classics like stuffing and cranberry sauce. Those are not my vibe.

Crescent rolls are my vibe. Light, flakey, buttery goodness all wrapped in the shape of a moon. Aesthetically pleasing and tasty, am I right? I could honestly eat six and be unashamed.

I eat turkey, mashed potatoes, and brussel sprouts year-round, but I only get to enjoy crescent rolls twice a year: Thanksgiving and Christmas. This means that I only have a select window in which I can savor their goodness. Now is the time, people. Who's with me?

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.
