The 5 Best Things About Thanksgiving

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Wake Forest chapter.

The time has come for looser pants and plates full of food.  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  As we all prepare to go home for this glorious holiday I just wanted to leave you all with my list of wonderful things about Thanksgiving:

1. Pumpkin Pie 

Everyone knows that pumpkin is the best flavor on the planet but put that into pie form and it is simply the best thing ever.  

 

2.   Black Friday Shopping 

Nothing like celebrating thankfulness than fighting over shoes in a crowded store.  

 

3.  Going home 

I haven’t been home since August and personally the idea of being in my 70 degree California “fall” is the best thing ever.  No offense Wake, but I’m pretty pumped for this break. 

 

4.  Thanksgiving episodes 

Who doesn’t want a little Blair Waldorf to go with their turkey?  These episodes make you realize that your family isn’t as crazy as they could be… definitely something to be grateful for.  

 

5.  IT IS OFFICIALLY CHRISTMAS 

No one can deny or say it is too early to get in the Christmas spirit because if Thanksgiving is over it truly is time.  THE TIME IS NOW.  Break out the lights and the cookies and start singing because Christmas is here!!!!! 

I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful break full of too much food and Black Friday shopping!!

Wake Forest

Hailing from Chicago, this Midwesterner turned Southern Belle is the Editor-in-Chief of Wake Forest University's chapter. When she isn't journaling for fun in her free time, she is obsessed with running around campus in giant sunglasses, wearing gold glitter eyeliner, and munching on trail mix. She's still struggling on saying "y'all" and not "guys" and has yet to try Cookout's legendary milkshakes. Follow her on twitter @Hmonyek!
