Just kidding I love it.

Why Thanksgiving Isn't That Great

Thanksgiving is upon us this week which means turkey, pumpkin pie, family, football, and that weird uncle who only shows up to drink beer and yell at the television for four hours.

But sometimes, the food is lacking, and by lacking I mean WHY IS THERE ALWAYS STUFFING! What even is stuffing? Well according to this recipe its just soggy, seasoned, bread.

I don't like stuffing. And maybe I'm the wrong one here but it's just gross. Why would you put soggy bread inside of a raw turkey and then eat it? That's where the heart and stomach and liver used to be and now you are eating the bread soaked in its remnants. GROSS!

There are other foods that turn my Thanksgiving feelings sour, including sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, and bread that is cold.

But stuffing.... Stuffing is the worst of them all. It always feels weird in my mouth, full of random vegetables that no one eats like celery (seriously, who eats that?). Everyone claims to like stuffing, but I think they are lying. Nothing about stuffing sounds appealing--not the old stale bread, carrots, celery, rosemary, butter, weird turkey or chicken juice that make it up.

Let's not forget that Turkey isn't even that great of a food. Ham is a thousand percent better than turkey can ever hope to be. Ham is sweet and savory; thick and juicy; and tastes way better on its own. Turkey is a dry old bird that people only eat out of obligation for a holiday that was made up by some white people years ago.

Overall, Thanksgiving gets a solid 5/10 on my holiday rating scale. It's up there with Easter or Boxing day. Good thing Christmas starts a the day after Thanksgiving, otherwise I'd have nothing to look forward to.

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
