Thanksgiving Day, Leftovers Friday, and Analog Monday; or, Taking Back Thanksgiving from the Marketing Industry

Turkey for our kubo’s Thanksgiving!

We are taking a break from the Kubo King’s Thoughts On College Education series (part 1 and part 2) to welcome the upcoming Thanksgiving Day. In this article, Kubo King shares his first ever experience with Thanksgiving and Black Friday, and how he and Kubo Queen are spending this year’s Thanksgiving and the days that follow it. It’s a pretty heavy article full of fun and reflection. What are you waiting for? Read on!

My very first Thanksgiving was in the year 2001. I was eleven years old, and my family had just immigrated to America in July of that year. At the time, I didn’t really know what it was all about, but I remember looking forward to it because it became obvious that my relatives were going to prepare a feast to celebrate it. I’ve always liked eating, and I’ve always looked forward to birthdays, Christmas, and New Year’s largely for that reason as a young child. So from then on Thanksgiving became another event that I would anticipate each year.

The Real Cost of College; or, Kubo King’s Thoughts On College Education (Part II)

This is the second part of Kubo King’s thoughts on college education (the first part is found here). He talks about one of the most important issues in higher education. So read on!

Today, if someone were to ask me if I thought a university education is worth pursuing, my answer would be — it depends. I believe that every situation is different. My experience as a college graduate might be different from another college graduate. In fact, my experience as someone who studied computer science and math might be different from someone who studied the same field. However, there is one important thing I wished high school teachers had warned kids about. I think it could have saved my peers from financial and emotional pain.

It tells you why I went to college, what I did to make college worth pursuing, why I think it was worth it for me in the end, and a glimpse of the next part. So what are you waiting for? Read on!
