From Least To Feast, 7 Thanksgiving Dishes That You Should Be Thankful For

7. Gravy

OK, I love condiments probably more than the next person. No joke, I hoard Chick-fil-A sauce.

But for some reason, gravy and I do not mix.

I know people love to drench their turkey and mashed potatoes under a thick layer of gravy, but I am not this person. I don't know what it is exactly about gravy that rubs me the wrong way, but it just doesn't taste good to me.

6. Turkey

Although the turkey may be the face of Thanksgiving, I must say, it is not the best dish of the holiday.

For some reason, turkey is always dry.

This is not an insult to my mom's cooking skills because the rest of my family loves her turkey, but, for some reason, it always tastes dry to me.

Granted, I eat turkey without gravy since I'm not a big fan of gravy, as stated above, but turkey should not have to rely on gravy to make it good.

It should be able to hold its own by itself.

5. Cranberry Sauce

Cranberry sauce from a can is the only acceptable form of cranberry sauce. End of story.

4. Stuffing

All forms of bread are amazing and that definitely includes stuffing.

Whether you make it from scratch or using the pre-made, Stove Top box, it is all good.

3. Green Bean Casserole

Don't knock it until you try it.

2. Pumpkin Pie

I'm not even that big of a pie person, but I think pumpkin pie is absolutely amazing.

Unlike most pies, which only taste great when they're warmed, pumpkin pie can be eaten at any temperature, making it that much more superior to other pies.

1. Mashed Potatoes

Last but certainly not least, the best Thanksgiving dish of all, mashed potatoes.

A Thanksgiving meal without mashed potatoes would be the saddest meal ever. You need to have mashed potatoes on your plate.

It is the best dish and in my opinion, easily the star of the Thanksgiving meal.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

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.

Being A Senior: The Best And Worst Of It

Graduation is coming.

Loyola University Chicago

268

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
