Top 10 Pump-Up Songs For Thanksgiving

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!

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
