In one day, the culmination of sharing and giving thanks arrives. But, let's be honest, Thanksgiving is more about the food than any of the other pleasantries. In the holiday's honor, the arts staff at the Arizona Daily Wildcat compiled a mix of songs that, in one way or another, deals with food.
While many UA students will spend Thanksgiving at home with their families, some students cite work, travel expenses and a short academic break as reasons to stay in Tucson over the holiday.
“Pretty much everyone I know is going home,” said Mallary Owen, a speech and hearing junior.
They might look like the poisonous fruit from the Super Mario Bros. games, but don't let the strange appearance deter you from trying Fuyu persimmons.
Fuyus, characterized by their burned auburn flesh and crisp, firm texture, are more commonly known as the “Asian apple,” and have a taste like that of a Fuji apple crossed with a Bosc pear.
When the wee hours of the morning roll around and UA students are craving some good eats, local sandwich shops Jimmy John's and Silver Mine Subs are among some of the only restaurants near campus with their lights still on, as they stay open until 3 a.m. With only 800 feet separating them, the late-night shops may seem to cater to the same crowd.
There comes a point during every family get-together when friends and loved ones get irrevocably irritated with each other. Mom has instated a threat-level-orange quarantine on the kitchen as she bastes and seasons with military precision. Dad sips a cold one on the couch and, with increasing unease, abides grandpa's hissing hearing aid.
So you don't get to go home for Thanksgiving. Or maybe you don't want to. Regardless, you should still savor every bit of the turkey-day goodness, whether you eat poultry or not. So throw a party in your dorm, house
or apartment tomorrow; have dinner with your urban tribe - family that isn't related to you by blood - your friends and lonely neighbors.
In a sense, Oregon State's potential dream season this year could easily belong to Arizona.
The Wildcats' five losses have been by a total of 28 points, and they've had a chance to take the lead or tie the game late in the fourth quarter in each of those contests.

The Oregon State loss was certainly tough to swallow for the Arizona football team, but luckily for the Wildcats, they can use this weekend to wash it down with turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and pie.
Though most players are heading home for the holiday, special teams coordinator Jeff Hammerschmidt from inviting some of the players over for a Thanksgiving feast.

A week removed from its 72-71 loss to Alabama-Birmingham, the Arizona men's basketball team was able to adjust to yet another hot 3-point shooting team.

“I don't know why I cannot stop,” said Stéphane Janssen. “It's like a disease. I don't smoke, I buy art.”
Janssen owns the art displayed in the Center for Creative Photography's new exhibit, “Oh L'Amour: Contemporary Photography from the Stéphane Janssen Collection.
The Wildcats certainly made it interesting, just as head coach Niya Butts promised. She encouraged the fans to come out and support the UA women's basketball team after its victory against UC Santa Barbara - its third consecutive win.
Those who came were treated to quite a show.
Seven grueling years of hissy fits and “drunk and disorderly” charges later, Axl Rose's brainchild, Chinese Democracy, finally hit shelves in America on Sunday.
There should be a disclaimer written on the front of Chinese Democracy: Warning, this is not a Guns N' Roses album.
