Mixtape

For some, Thanksgiving means a day off from classes, seeing family and friends and reflecting on everything we are thankful for. For others, it’s turkey dump time. Thanksgiving is the first holiday of the school year and the perfect opportunity for students to return home and break up with their long distance sweethearts face to face. If you find yourself a victim of the turkey dump, your only consolation is to bury yourself in mountains of gravy, and mentally spite your ex by listening to angsty breakup tunes. Just remember things will get better.  Look at my girl B (track 14) who, post-bozo, has a famous man and an even more famous pregnancé.
