With Turkey Day right around the corner, most of the population has begun to make a list of all of the things they are thankful for. Whether it be family, friends, democracy, Krispy Kreme, etc. Thanksgiving would not be complete without giving thanks to those who deserve it most. For those of us in college, Thanksgiving is the perfect time for no class and food we don’t have to make in the microwave. Each student probably has their own preference of their favorite T-Giving food, but what if you truly are what you eat?
Without further ado, we present college majors as Thanksgiving foods. Bon Appétit!
1. Turkey: Business
The big kahuna of all feastery. What better suited for this most famous Thanksgiving staple, then one of the most sought after majors? With their ties and pencil skirts, business majors know what it takes to be the/a boss. The center of the table is yours!
2. Cranberry Sauce: Art
What Thanksgiving food is more tortured than cranberry sauce? This sometimes deemed unusual dish represents art majors better than a Rick and Morty t-shirt. If it was necessary to pick cuisine to be the voice of a generation, cranberry sauce would take the prize.
3. Green Bean Casserole: Communications
Casserole = no effort? What could be more fitting for this “easy” major? Talk to your taste buds after you’ve had a bite out of the goodness that is communications.
4. Stuffing: Computer Science
Stuffing can be complicated to understand. Computer science can be complicated to understand. Need further explanation? Refer to the recipe.
5. Mashed Potatoes: Nursing
Mashed potatoes deserve more respect, man. They are potatoes in their purest form. The same could be said for nursing students. They are the epitome of what college students have to deal with; yet, they do it while looking great in scrubs.
6. Mac and Cheese: Psychology
A simple concept that can become extremely complex. Mac and cheese holds the power to command an entire population. The same power belongs to psych majors.
7. Rolls: Political Science
There is no comment needed.
8. Corn: Biology
It is easy to take a big bite of corn and begin losing a few pieces. This is a concept biology majors are keen to. It is easy to take a “bite” out of this major and begin to lose a few pieces, whether it be hours of sleep or dignity. But, biology majors are absolutely thriving.
9. Gravy: Engineering
It can take a lot to make gravy perfectly. Engineering majors are similar. We truly believe that the label “Engineering Major” is placed across special babies in the hospital nursery after birth. They are bred to be the future of this country, just like gravy.
10. Pumpkin Pie: Education
Pumpkin pie is so warm and sweet. Education majors appear to have the same manner. To know they are going to be underpaid for the rest of their lives, so it takes a love for the students. Education majors shape our knowledge. Pumpkin pie shapes our bums.
Happy Thanksgiving to all you struggling college students out there. May the fork be with you.
