Thanksgiving Explained by an International Student
So first they roast a turkey, right, and then sometimes they put other birds inside the turkey and roast those too, and they call it a turduckoose or a turchicken or something. And then they get in line with all their cousins from Arkansas and wait to cut pieces out of this wobbly cranberry jello from a can, and then they cover the turkey with the jello and eat it all together.

Junkley seemed confused, simply answering “Well, why wouldn’t he be here?” As the night went on and the pledges got to know the fraternity better, several pledges inquired about Boyer’s presence at the event, and none of them…

I might be president one day, you know.” At this point, the IOP staffer was getting annoyed. She had missed her morning…

I honestly don’t know what I would do without them. I had to walk from Max P to the Reynolds Club at 11:30 in the morning by myself yesterday, and I was pretty nervous, but I was put at ease by the six UCPD cruisers I saw on my way over. I’m just so thankful for everything they do!” This is not the first time that UCPD has driven around the block. Many students have reported increased sightings in the past few weeks,…
