The Holy Grail Dessert That Is A NECESSITY For My Family's Thanksgiving

Every year for Thanksgiving my family makes something different. Sometimes it's a traditional turkey, sometimes it's a slab of ribs! But there is one dish we always have, and that is my grandma's famous pumpkin roll. Pumpkin spice cake rolled with cream cheese makes the perfect dessert. Especially if you're not a big fan of the traditional pumpkin pie. It's super quick and easy to make, and also delicious of course!

-Powdered sugar

-3/4 cup all-purpose flour

-1/2 teaspoon baking powder

-1/2 teaspoon baking soda

-3 large eggs

-1 cup granulated sugar

-2/3 cup Libby's pure pumpkin

filling:

-8oz. softened cream cheese

-1 cup sifted powdered sugar

-6 tablespoons softened butter

4. Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt in a small bowl.

5. Beat eggs and sugar in a large mixing bowl until thick. Stir in the pumpkin, then the flour mixture.

6. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.

7. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until the top of the cake springs back when touched.

8. Loosen the cake and turn onto the prepared towel. Then carefully peel off the wax paper.

10. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.

11. Carefully unroll the cake and remove the towel.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
