Now that Thanksgiving is just around the corner people are looking very forward to their family recipe traditions and classic delicious dishes. When I think of Thanksgiving I think of my family recipes that are very hard to duplicate. Some of my favorite Thanksgiving foods are as follows:

Sweet Potato Casserole:

The classic sweet potatoes are a tradition of Thanksgiving, but my family has a recipe that is hard to beat. Sweet potatoes are made mashed with honey, brown sugar and walnuts the sweetness with the crunch of the walnuts are truly delicious and is worth the one year wait.

Stuffing:

Among the recipes that my family does and is very famous, one of the dishes that I look forward to the most is my mom’s stuffing. It is made with the stuffing, but we have a recipe where we boil it in with the corn muffin mix, then cook it in the oven for about 20 minutes and then we stuff the Turkey and let it cook even longer so it comes out very fluffy and delicious. The fluffy texture and the taste from the herbs is definitely in my top 2 favorite dishes from the feast.

Rice

Me as an Exercise Science major I can’t forget about my favorite carbohydrates rice. During Thanksgiving, my mom makes boiled rice and it comes out very fluffy and absolutely amazing.

Corn Casserole

Besides for the stuffing, my favorite Thanksgiving dish is still my mom’s Corn Casserole. It is so good that it can actually be used for both dinner and dessert. It is an absolute blessing that I get to have this dish every Thanksgiving because in my life I have never tasted a better Thanksgiving dish then my mom’s corn casserole. It takes almost all day to make, but it definitely is worth the work put forth to make this masterpiece. The thought of it makes me ravenous, but it is worth the wait because I’m definitely going to enjoy it more if I wait for it.

Pumpkin Pie

After the delicious feast, the one thing I look forward to the most, as well as other people is Pumpkin Pie. Ever since I first had it back in 2005 it has become one of my favorite Thanksgiving desserts The creaminess of the filling and the sweetness from the whipped cream make it truly a delicacy.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
