8 Ways To Get Extra Brownie Points This Thanksgiving

It's officially "get out the kitchen" season, at least for me.

Is my mom the only one who asks for my help cooking, but ends up getting frustrated with me because I'm in the way more than anything?

Eh, I hope not. I swear my mom loves me.

I don't take it to heart, I mainly just laugh. It's funny because the holiday season can bring out anyone's frustrated side.

I mean, if you are helping your Grandma cook for Thanksgiving, you better be on your A game.

I say that because you know how serious they are about their cooking, and that's a bad side I definitely don't want to be on.

I'm totally kidding, but for real study the recipes up and down before you go help Grandma. HAHA

Now, if you know that you are not meant for the kitchen, like myself, then I have made a list of other things you can do to help out.

1. Go get the groceries 

It is the one thing that is most dreaded, so this will definitely get you extra brownie points!

2. Unload the groceries

Make your mama, grandmama, or whoever's hardheaded self, sit down and relax while you unload and organize the groceries.

3. Get out the mixing bowls & dishes

Save them from straining themselves and grab those pans, youngin!

4. Wash the dishes

It is very likely that the dirty bowls placed in the sink will need to be used again, so stay ahead of the game.

5. Fix them a drink

Whether it's wine, beer, sweet tea, or apple cider, you will be a lifesaver.

6. Go grab some food

I mean, fixing all these yummy meals has to make them hungry. Treat them to their favorite carry out, on you!

7. Clean the house

Clean house, happy person.

8. Finally, set the table

Before doing so, make sure you know the correct, etiquette, way to do so. I wanted to throw that out there to save you from an hour-long lesson on how to set a table.


By now, you should have made your way to the top of the favorite child/grandchild list.

Just kidding, they would never admit to that.

They will, however, be extra grateful for all of your help.

Thanksgiving is a memorable holiday and it should be made less exhausting.

By helping out in anyway that you can, it will help reduce Thanksgiving stress.

Be an angel this holiday, and even beyond holidays.

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.
