I love Thanksgiving. It is the perfect time to share with the family and enjoy great food. For me, it is time to watch my favorite Tv shows' Thanksgiving-themed episodes. It is so funny to see all these characters to confront their families and talk about hidden secrets.

The king of Thanksgiving-themed episodes is "Friends." It gave us nine amazing stories of Thanksgiving. My favorite one is when Brad Pitt plays Will, a former classmate of Monica, Rachel and Ross. I cannot forget the episode of old Thanksgivings when we can see all of the characters younger, or the Geller Cup, or Monica with a pirate patch.

The truth is "Friends" showed thirty-three reasons to be Thankful; let me share them with you.

1. Nobody has worse Thanksgivings than Chandler. 

2. Our families are awesome. Let’s face it; after Phoebe’s family, ours is just perfect.

3. Unagi. According to Ross, no everybody gets Unagi, but it sounds helpful.

4. You can love and lose a Richard, but you always can have a better second chance, a Chandler.

5. I can make better deserts than Rachel.

6. I am smart enough to not insert my head in a raw turkey.

7. I don’t have a crazy stalker. Joey got Erika who actually believed he was Dr. Ray Ramone.

8. I don’t have a crazy crush with a monkey (I don’t have to say more).

9. I don’t have a failure love like Gunter with Rachel.

10. My best friend is not in Aruba with my ex-fiancé, like Rachel, Barry and Mindy.

11. I have seen better stripers than Danny DeVito.

12. I am not a freaky cleaner like Monica.

13. The copy guy does not lie to me saying he is Ralph Lauren (and I know what Ralph Lauren looks like).

14. I don’t have a jealous and complicate boyfriend like Ross.

15. My friends believe more in my talent than Rachel, Rose, Phoebe, Monica and Chandler in Joey.

16.  My apartment is cleaner than Cheryl’s. (Do you remember Rebecca Romijn playing an anthropologist dating Ross?)

17. None of my ex-boyfriends left in hope of winning a Nobel prize.

18. I don’t have a Janice in my life.

19. I sing better than Phoebe.

20. I don’t have a sister making porn movies using my name.

21. I know my lobster is somewhere waiting to meet me (maybe I met him already, and I did not realize it).

22. I am not in love with my best friend partner.

23. I am not dating an ex of my best friends.

24. My hair does not go crazy with humidity.

25. I am working in a research in Russia getting no results after ten years.

26. I am not the public face of Gonorrhea.

27. Dr. Green is not my father in law.

28. He said the right name on the altar.

29. I have never run away at any wedding.

30. Joanna is not my boss or my friend’s date.

31. My job does not request to wear false boobs or roller skates.

32. Either Ross or Monica would give me a message.

33. Bonnie is not dating the guy I like.

I think I am forgetting the most important reason; I must have thankful because I can watch "Friends'" Thanksgiving-themed episodes any time.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
