In today’s culture, people have a tendency of moving directly from Halloween’s trick-or-treats to the festive holiday season of Christmas. We aren’t the only people found guilty of this, it’s commercial retail as well. However, we have to remember not to sleep on Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a great time to celebrate and reflect on everything you’ve been thankful for within the past year. It’s also a great time to eat some of the best food life has to offer. Here is a definitive ranking of the best Thanksgiving food:

1. Stuffing with cranberry sauce

If we’re being honest here, stuffing might as well be heaven on earth. It is by far the dish I am most excited for, especially because it is a seasonal dish.

2. Pumpkin pie

It wouldn’t be a Thanksgiving dinner without a slice of pumpkin pie. No arguments.

3. Cornbread/Dinner roll

Sure, we consume cornbread and dinner rolls on a daily basis, regardless of the holidays, but the meal would be entirely incomplete without them.

4. Mashed potatoes with gravy

Mashed potatoes are already such an iconic dish. Now, mashed potatoes with gravy? That only takes it to the next level.

5. Green bean casserole

I enjoy eating vegetables as much as the average person does, but green bean casserole makes eating vegetables taste a thousand times better.

6. Pecan pie

Eating pie is hands down my guilty pleasure. Sometimes though, pecan pie can be too sweet for my liking.

7. Turkey

Whether or not the meat tastes dry makes all of the difference in the world. This can either make or break a turkey.

8. Corn

Corn isn’t the best, but it certainly isn’t the worst either. It’s just kind of there.

9. Sweet potato pie

You have hundreds of delicious pies to choose from, yet you choose sweet potato pie?

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.
