Thanksgiving or Thanks, I’ll Take That 50-Inch Flat Screen TV?

November 26, 2015. Thanksgiving Day. What are you thankful for? Are you thankful for the day off from college? The home-cooked food? Or, are you thankful for the ridiculous good deals that the day after Thanksgiving guarantees?

As we know it, Thanksgiving is a day where we show that we are thankful for what we have; however, the true meaning of Thanksgiving has been chewed up and spit out by the new era of consumerism known as Black Friday.

A posse you knew you would never be a part of. 11. You dreaded every gym class you ever had to take You even did a little prayer before gym class. 10.

A Letter To The Guy You Used To Be

To The Guy You Used To Be, “I still remember the look on your face Lit through the darkness at 1:58 The words that you whispered For just us to know You told me you loved me So why did you go Away“ I write this thinking about the moments I once treasured with you. I write this thinking about how excited I would be when your name would light up on my phone. I write this thinking about the taste of your lips, the comfort of your touch, the complacency of your stare. That is all gone. Long gone. You are the same guy that you were at one time, but that is in a physical manner. Your amazing personality fell off the face of the Earth. The guy that I once fell for vanished away. The sad thing is that I am still falling for the guy that you

To The Customer Who Smacked Me With A Menu, First of all, how dare you touch me, and then how dare you tell my manager that I “overreacted” because I politely asked you to leave for laying your hands, or should I say, your menu on me. I sincerely apologize that you didn’t enjoy your dining experience as much as you would have hoped, but that was never my fault. I am a hostess. My job is to get your butt in a seat, and that is exactly what I did. Little do you know was that I paid extra attention to you and your wife while you two were waiting. For some reason, you two reminded me of somebody who used to be in my life. I rushed to clean off every table in the restaurant because I knew you two as well as other customers were starving. I
