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

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.
