For The Love Of Turkey

What Thanksgiving lovers are tired of hearing

Thanksgiving is the middle child in the holiday bunch: it's not young enough to dress up in costumes and be socially acceptable like Halloween (until college that is) and it isn't an old and timeless holiday tradition like Christmas and/or Hanukkah. Thanksgiving is overlooked from the greatness of these other holidays and it's easy to forget showing this thankful day some love. Everyone talks about how great their Halloween was and how excited they are for Christmas but no one really talks about how amazing Thanksgiving is.

So if you're a turkey lover like me and refuse to listen to Christmas music until December, this one's for you. Here are my top 6 pet peeves to the people who forget about the middle child, Thanksgiving.

Being asked what day Thanksgiving falls on:

Every. Single. Time.

"But I don't like turkey"

Final answer.

"No one sings about Thanksgiving"

In a few years, we'll be singing this along to the radio.

"I'm just waiting for ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas and Rudolph"

But have you seen "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving"?

"I don't want to get fat"

The one day in the entire year where it is socially acceptable to eat as much food as you could possibly want and not be judged. That's some major life goals right there.

Trying to make Thanksgiving cool but no one takes you seriously:

I tried guys, I tried.

With Thanksgiving coming up this Thursday, remember that it isn't just turkey time, but a day to give thanks and spend time with friends and family. Enjoy it while you can, because soon enough we won't be able to escape the endless Christmas music until the new year.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
