Why don't people give thanks to Thanksgiving?

How Underappreciated Thanksgiving Is

The day after Halloween everyone automatically jumps to Christmas. Not that I am against Christmas, but what about Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, and people do not appreciate it as much as they should.

It makes me so mad when people skip over Thanksgiving. It’s a holiday where you get to spend it with your family and eat so much food! Who doesn’t look forward to that? It’s also a time to give thanks for everything, and everyone in your life.

Giving thanks is so important, not just on Thanksgiving, but all the time. The holidays aren’t a time to be receiving gifts or getting new things, it’s about appreciating what you have, and to spend time with your loved ones.

Being away at college has made me appreciate the holidays so much more. Having the opportunity to come home and see your family is just the best feeling ever. I mean, Thanksgiving should also just be everyone’s holiday, because food.

Thinking about all the food I am about to eat with my family is making me so happy. I think people just get too caught up in having to make all the food, and prepare for a huge meal. But, in the end, it is all worth it. You get to talk about old times, make jokes, and eat amazing food.

I love Thanksgiving so much, and I think people should love it just as much as I do. It is a great holiday full of yummy food and all the people that are important to your life.

Happy Thanksgiving!

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
