Whether you are inviting family or cooking for friends, hosting your first Thanksgiving can be both exciting and stressful. Luckily, there are ways to host a successful event in your Texas A&M Corpus Christi student housing.
1. Plan Your Dinner in Advance
The best way to approach your first Thanksgiving is to plan your dinner. This means sending out invites, making a shopping list, and planning your cooking schedule weeks or even months ahead of time. You want to give yourself time to get everything together and make necessary adjustments.
2. Ask For Help if Needed
There are times when you need more hands on deck, so do not be afraid to ask for help if you are feeling overwhelmed. It could be as small as an invited friend helping to set the table or a family member helping with dinner after arriving at your apartment.
3. Wake up Earlier Than Usual
Whether you have help or are cooking yourself, you still need to wake up earlier than usual to start preparing various dishes. You also need to ensure your apartment is straightened up, the turkey is cooking well, and you have all the essential ingredients.
4. Clean The Common Areas
If you do not have time to clean every area of your student apartment, be sure to clean common areas such as the living room, kitchen, and bathroom in advance. You can always straighten up other areas when you have some downtime before dinner. When you are ready to relocate to Texas A&M Corpus Christi student housing, check out Midtown Corpus Christi.
