“Friends-giving”

As we get a little closer to Thanksgiving I wanted to talk about a popular tend that I think everyone should take part in. While this has nothing to do with actually cooking, I still think it is important to discuss it. A term of “friends-giving” has grown in popularity over the lat few years. It simply is a gathering of friends like thanksgiving either before or after the actual holiday.

People will gather and share a meal. It doesn’t need to be anything fancy, special, or specific. The important thing is that you are gathering together to spend time with people that you care about. The meal itself is not important. This time of year is very stressful for all college students and we have a tendency to only focus on our work, problems, and our own life. It is important to remember that your friends in school are going through the same things.

My advice is to find some time in the next week or two to gather together your fiends for a friends giving meal. Make it whatever you like. Just taking some time to relax and spend time with friends will give you a much needed break from all the stresses in your life. Take the time recognize and be thankful for the people in your life.
