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

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
