Giving Thanks for Traditions
Samantha Huffman, Staff Writer
Throughout the years there
have been many time-honored
traditions that are invariably linked
to Thanksgiving, and the major
focus of Thanksgiving revolves
around the turkey. The Macy’s
Thanksgiving Day parade, a
tradition in itself, is broadcast
every year with Tom Turkey
leading the way. We also get to
bear witness to the annual turkey
pardon which is hosted by the
president of the United States.
Most importantly, the turkey is the
centerpiece of many dinner tables,
even if the cooking methods have
evolved over the years.
Although the turkey has a
tendency to be the focus, there
are many other family traditions
out there. These family traditions
are directly linked to travel which
is at a high at this time of the year.
Once travel has been completed,
then celebrators can carry on
many other traditions.
Senior Caitlin Sloan and
her family start the festivities
early. Sloan says, “My family
does appetizer night the night
before we have Thanksgiving
dinner. Everyone brings different
appetizers and wines and we all
just pig out.”
Haley Yow also shared a
day before tradition of honoring
her grandmother’s memory by
recreating some of her recipes
such as oyster stew.
One of the major focal points
of Thanksgiving revolves around
its name. Thanksgiving is a time
to give thanks for the things in
our lives. Thanks needs giving
for the things we take for granted
such as food, family, education
and comfort. Most importantly,
we should be thankful for our
freedoms that allow us to celebrate
this wonderful holiday in any way
we want with any tradition we can
follow or create.
No matter what the table is
covered with be it appetizers or
turkey, there seems to be one
common theme throughout this
holiday: family. Thanksgiving
starts a season of spending time
with family that continues through
Christmas, and that is why the
Macy’s Day parade is bookended
with Tom Turkey and Santa Claus.
To everyone out there. Happy
Thanksgiving to you and yoursi

Meredith students have a lot on their plates:
rigorous classes, internships, parking lot practices
every fall, countless meetings, and many more
commitments. Some students on campus have
their own businesses to keep up with as well.
Here are three current students running their own
shops on personal websites or on Etsy, an online
marketplace featuring handmade and vintage
items.

Senior Sarah Augsbach runs Seas Design Co.,
which has decals for your electronics and prints
for your walls. She started the business writing
invitations for others in 2013, but she became
too busy in 2016 to continue it. Over the summer,
boredom combined with her graphic design
experience and love of cute stickers led to the
revival of the shop. Today, it includes Meredith-
related prints and stickers, as well as stickers for
NC State, Raleigh, and funny sayings. Her onyx
sticker is her favorite product in her shop; she said,
“I know a lot of people love it, so that makes me
love it.” Augsbach would love to spend more time
with her shop creating more designs, but we all
know that “school comes first.”
