Thanksgiving Dinner Brought To You By Gilmore Girls

Entertainment Weekly

This Thanksgiving, our turkey will be blessed with a side of Gilmore Girls. After being stuffed to the brim with an abundance of food and the sleepiness wears off, on Friday, our ears will be filled again with the gabbing girls and all of the shockingly relatable monologues. That being said, it seems only fitting that we use the show to look at Thanksgiving and remember that Stars Hollow is not far away.

1. You're back at your parent's house and you're rudely awakened by your mother at 8:00 AM.

2. You begin complaining about how you're not ready for the myriad of questions about school and how you don't want to talk to anyone.

3. Your mom asks why you're pre-gaming the pre-company pre-gaming.

4. Your company arrives, which sometimes includes your favorite cousin that you haven't seen since Christmas.

5. But with that cousin comes the other (littler cousins) that taunts you at every turn.

Darn munchkin.

6. It's time for dinner and that same blood related bully tries to get you to sit at the kid's table, but your parents tell you to sit with them.

7. However, as soon as you sit down and more adult topics that you're not sure you can contribute to come up, you realize that the kids table might have been a better choice.

8. But then you realize that the adult table is where all the drama is at.

9. You find out the Aunt Susan flew off the handle (again).

Which really isn't a surprise to anyone.

10. Uncle George brags about how he dislocated his toe, but it's okay because he "fixed it."

11. You find out the cousin Darla finally had her twins and Aunt Sherlie has photo evidence.

12. When the gossip dies down a little bit, your dad begins to whip out the jokes.

13. But then the attention turns to you and they begin to ask how you are.

14. You begin to start dodging all the intrusive questions that you can.

15. You try to turn the attention away from you.

16. They ask the "big question."

16. Your sibling senses your distress and tries to make sure you're okay.

16. At long last, dinner is over and you get to say sayonara to the family without trying to smile too much at their departure.

Happy Turkey Day!*

*And may the odds be ever in your favor.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
