Thanksgiving with a side of tragedy

The Gallagher's Guide To Thanksgiving
Shameless

Nothing is ever what is seems at the Gallagher household as the South Side Chicago family continues to try and make ends meet. They take dysfunctional to a whole new level and if you've watched the show you can't help but allow the Gallagher's to capture your heart and rip your hair out at the parenting number Frank and Monica did on these kids. This family is one of a kind and even through its humor it shows the hardships they face. With Thanksgiving coming up what better way to get through the holidays than with the help of your favorite All-American family. I give you the Gallagher's guide to Thanksgiving.

1) Smuggle your drug dealer's daughter's boyfriend into the country in a boxcar shipping container.

2) Get your estranged wife to seduce your brother to get the money your mother sent him and not you.

3) Pawn presents for rent and food money because your mother stole the "squirrel fund" from the coffee canister.

4) Don't encourage your mom to sleep with your ex-fiancé because it's weird and she's into even weirder shit. Eskimo sisters to a disturbing new level.

5) Wish your siblings an eternity in hell during grace. Way to go, Frank..

6) Shoot up a liquor store because you want beer only to have it backfire when the owner pulls out a rifle and has no idea how to use it.

7) If you can't get a turkey, you can always eat a duck.... or a bald eagle. FYI it's illegal to kill our nation's bird and tamper with their trackers.

8) Invite the homeless guy who bathes in your pool to dinner because why not?

9) Give birth to a baby, not knowing who the father is, give it up for adoption, then have your clinically insane mother steal it because you don't want to raise it.

10) Steve/Jimmy to the rescue. Low and behold, there is a turkey at last.

11) Find out you're sleeping with your sister's boyfriend's dad.

12) End it with a mental breakdown and a trip to the ER.

13) Drink yourself stupid and pass out on the side of the road. Typical Frank move.

Tis the season to be thankful so don't forget to remind yourself all you have to be thankful for, especially not being a Gallagher.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
