A Letter To Thanksgiving
The Original Thanksgiving

Dear Thanksgiving,

It’s been quite some time since I’ve last been with you. It’s hard to believe the time of being with you again is here. I must admit one thing, I’ve missed you. I know you think that because Christmas is my favorite holiday, I don’t love you, but that isn’t true. You are one of a kind, a day of giving thanks, and being with your loved ones eating delicious food. Yes, Christmas has the presents, but Thanksgiving, you are irresistible.

I missed turkey. Yes, I know that sometimes I have turkey bacon or sliced turkey on my sandwich, but it is no Thanksgiving turkey. I can’t lie, though; stuffing is the one thing I missed the most. Oh, how I can eat stuffing leftovers for days… and the cranberry sauce! How could I not eat spoonfuls of cranberry sauce?

I’m always the happiest eating all the food on Thanksgiving. You bring me so much joy and happiness. Especially after the food coma, the nap is the best out of all the naps I’ve ever taken. Something about you just excites me every year for more. One last thing, I must give a shout out to the pumpkin pie, the ultimate of pies, the alpha male of pies. How do you taste more delicious each Thanksgiving?

I look forward to seeing you November 24.

Sincerely,

The hungriest girl

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

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?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
