Never in my 21 years on this earth have I heard anyone claim that the turkey is their favorite thing about Thanksgiving. If it is, you're probably in the 1% of people on earth that think so. Just saying. So why is turkey the worst part of Thanksgiving? Here are 25 reasons.

It Takes Forever To Cook

Giphy

I'm hungry and you're going to be in the oven for 5 hours? Seriously??

It's A Giant Bird

Giphy

The idea alone makes me want to become a vegetarian.

Carving it takes time too

Giphy

The clock is still ticking. I'm still hungry.

It's Just A Giant Piece Of Meat

Giphy

What's so great about it?? Let me know.

It Always Has The Most Leftover

Giphy

Because most people don't go back for seconds...

Literally Everything On The Table Is Better

Giphy

Everything.

Mashed Potatoes Are Better

Giphy

If you don't like potatoes, you're wrong.

Stuffing Is Better

Giphy

But not the kind that goes in the actual bird... *gags*

Sweet Potatoes Are Better

Giphy

With or without marshmallows, roasted, mashed, fried. Still better.

Cranberry Sauce Is Better

Giphy

And I don't even like cranberry sauce.

Broccoli Cheese Casserole Is Better

Giphy

If you tried it, you'd agree. It's a family staple.

Green Beans Are Better

Giphy

Eat your greens.

Salad Is Better

Giphy

Again. EAT. YOUR. GREENS.

Brussel Sprouts Are Better

Giphy

Coming from me, that says a lot.

Dinner Roles Are Better

Giphy

Bread. Duh.

Mac and Cheese Is Better

Giphy

Again, duh.

Gravy Is Better

Giphy

NO IT DOESN'T HAVE TO GO ON THE TURKEY.

Corn Bread Is Better

Giphy

It totally counts as a vegetable.

Snickerdoodles Cookies Are Better

Giphy

I only make these around the holidays and they are 10/10

Pumpkin Pie Is Better

Giphy

The official mascot of thanksgiving dinner.

Apple Pie Is Better

Giphy

A personal favorite.

Chocolate Creme Pie Is Better

Giphy

Chocolate is always better. Always.

Pecan Pie Is Better

Giphy

Honestly I can't vouch for this one but I bet I would still enjoy it more than a giant bird.

All The Pies Are Better

Giphy

Facts.

I Repeat. IT'S JUST A GIANT BIRD. 

Giphy

In case you forgot. *shrugs shoulders*

Maybe Thanksgiving isn't REALLY all about the turkey... but I'm still sticking with the fact that Thanksgiving could go without it. Oh well. Have a happy thanksgiving!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
