Why Thanksgiving Is Underrated

Here's why Thanksgiving is great

Why Thanksgiving Is Underrated
Cafe Escadrille

It's that time of the year again: Thanksgiving. Honestly, it has some pretty terrible origins and maybe it shouldn't really be a holiday, but nonetheless, it is and I have to say it's one of my favorite to celebrate. The only problem is that it goes so overlooked so often! It's like we go straight from Halloween to Christmas and all but ignore Thanksgiving. Therefore, I thought it would be good to name a few reasons we should all love this holiday.

1. Family

Much like Christmas, it's a holiday where families get together, relax, and just enjoy each other's company. Things might get a little crazy at some points, but it always turns out great anyway.

2. Eat all day

It's basically a whole day to cooking and then eating as much as you can. All. Day. I really can't think of any better way to spend my time.

3. Thanksgiving Weekend

Halloweekend has nothing onThanksgiving Weekend. Most people get off Thursday- Saturday, at least, so that means the festivities can start Wednesday night and you can just keep going all weekend because you don't have any real responsibilities, at least not work ones.

4. Football!

Okay, so I'm not the biggest fan of football, but on Thanksgiving it just gets me.

There you have it, hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
