What About Thanksgiving?

You're all forgetting a holiday...

What About Thanksgiving?
Huffington Post

Everyone is so excited for Halloween, dressing up getting candy, scary costumes...then comes Christmas, right? Pretty lights, snow, presents, and Santa Claus is on everyone's minds after Halloween. WRONG! Y'all are skipping over the tastiest holiday yet...Thanksgiving!!!!

Thanksgiving matters! I am so sick of everyone looking over turkey day and skipping right to Christmas. I'm not ready for Christmas music and the snow and Christmas scents of the season. I want gravy boats and wishbones, I want a cranberry relish scented wax melt and a mountain of mashed potatoes! We need some Thanksgiving music in our lives (someone write some please). November is too early for "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas".

Sure, you get together with your family on Christmas and spend time with them. But you're not thinking about spending time with them and being thankful for their presence, you're excited to see what you're getting gift-wise. Thanksgiving is a time to embrace your family and let them know how much you appreciate them, be thankful for everything you have and not worry about what you don't have.

So when Thanksgiving Day comes around and you're all FINALLY excited about your mountains of potatoes and your streams of gravy, I don't want to see one picture of your plates since you went right from Halloween to Christmas and basically shit on Thanksgiving.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
