How To Pull Off A Friendsgiving
Thought Catalogue

Thanksgiving has always been an important holiday for me. The food, family time and, the chance to come home makes all the holiday stress worth it. I live in apartment with five people so I though it would be great to host a Friendsgiving. Friendsgiving is a get together with friends filled with food, fun, and memories. It requires a little work but all in all it is totally worth it and, you will have an excuse for an extra turkey meal!

1. Decide who will be the host

The host usually has it at his / her place, they will provide the turkey and place setting.

2. Prepare a Guest list

Make sure everyone is available and can bring a dish!

3. Coordinate who will be bringing what

At Friendsgiving, it is suggested that the food served potluck style. We don't want the host to be overworked.

4. Create a place setting

Matching tableware and any drink not in Solo cup should do. Candles are a great way to add ambience to a stuffy apartment.

5. Eat!


Dig in to a delicious meal!

6. Conversation is key.

Strike up a chat with someone you aren't familiar with. Friendsgiving is a great chance to meet new people in your social group

7. Clean Up

Give the host a hand and make sure that some dishes are taken care of. This gesture can go a long way!

8. Be thankful


When saying your goodbyes, make sure to thank the host and catch up with people at the door.


9. Pass out


Watch an iconic Gossip Girl thanksgiving episode and pass out, tomorrow you have to do this all over again with your own family!

Happy Thanksgiving from yours truly,I hope its filled with turkey, free laundry and your own bed

Love,

Lexi

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
