I hope you're ready to get psyched about eating until you feel the need to go put on stretchy pants.

Top 10 Pump-Up Songs For Thanksgiving
iDigitalTimes

Now-a-days, I think there's a pump up playlist for just about anything you could think of (yes, you guys, anything...). Which is why I'm obligated to share my own playlist for tomorrow's festivities. But it's probably safe to say that only the titles are actually things you should share with your entire family... You'll see what I mean.

1. Corona And Lime - Shwayze

Sometimes this is just what it takes to make it through the holiday season.

2. Food, Glorious Food - Oliver (The Musical)

Some of us have been waiting for a good home-cooked meal all semester, so this could definitely be a song to get us in the eating mood. Hopefully, if you ask nicely, you could have some more after your first helping.

3. Biscuits - Kacey Musgraves

If you're looking for a staple "Go to first" food, biscuits are definitely one of the more popular goodies found on the table. They're quick, and easy to make, and even easier to pop into your mouth before blessing the food. And if one of your siblings wants to tattle, you can always tell them to mind their own biscuits.

4. Cooked Food - Wretch 32

This goes out to all the foods out on your tables that I couldn't find a song dedicated to. I guess turkey doesn't make for a very good rhyme, so we'll have to forgive the artists until we find a suitable way to incorporate it. And here's to hoping that all your cooked food is cooked to perfection.

5. Mashed Potatoes - Nat Kendricks

Oh, mashed potatoes, you make me feel exactly how this song describes. Pour a little gravy and add a dab of butter on top, and I'm set.

6. Eat It - "Weird Al" Yankovic

It's about mid-meal when that mixture of accomplishment and the need to throw up from being so stuffed hits. You're only on your second helping of turkey, my friend, so in the words of Weird Al, "Just Eat it."

7. Broccoli - D.R.A.M.

We can't forget our serving of veggies, of course. You can only avoid it for so long before someone notices and scoops a healthy portion onto your plate for you. There's also a song about collard greens out there for those who don't have broccoli on Thanksgiving.

8. Cherry Pie - Warrant

We've finally made it to the dessert course, and what kind of Thanksgiving meal are you having if you're not having pie? Throw in the obvious sexism of the 90s, which somehow blends in with dinner topic discussions (who'd of thunk-it?) and your meal is complete. (Just for the record, we can't be friends if you think dropping pie is ever acceptable)

9. American Pie - Don Mclean

Pie seems to be a pretty big subject in the food realm. But what's more American than a nice pie? Funny enough, Weird Al did a parody of this song too.

10. Peaches N Cream - Snoop Dogg ft. Charlie Wilson

If pie isn't your style (but sexism is, I guess?), I have another song that might be more your taste.

Enjoy turkey day, folks, and don't forget to be thankful!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
