Every year, someone inevitably asks, “So, what are you thankful for?” It’s one of those questions that can go either way. You can give the easy answer: friends, family, health (which there is absolutely nothing wrong with). But this year, I ask you to let the question sink in a little deeper. What are you really thankful for? Tell us in the comments below.

Game day in Dallas isn’t just about football. It’s about rounding up your crew, throwing on your Mustang gear, and heading to top spots like Barley House or HG Supply Co. to watch the Ponies. SMU football is rising fast, and the energy is bigger than ever.

Thanksgiving break always arrives with stellar timing, right when students need a breather from papers, exams, and the swirl of campus life. But for SMU fans, that break also brings football. This season, the Mustangs will take on Cal in a Thanksgiving weekend matchup that is sure to have students and alumni alike glued to their TV screens between servings of turkey and pie.

Dallas may be packed with sleek steakhouses and high-end restaurants, but some of its best meals come from places you’d least expect. The city is filled with small, unpolished spots that locals swear by, true hole-in-the-wall restaurants where the focus is on good food. These little hidden gems have a classic charm and honesty. Sushi House, Burger House, Naminohana, and Café Pacific are perfect examples: simple, unfussy, and loved for one reason, the food always delivers.

Dallas has a rhythm that never truly slows down, and nowhere is that more apparent than around SMU’s campus. With enduring local favorites that have been part of student life for decades and new spots that seem to emerge each semester, the area strikes a perfect balance between the familiar and what’s new. Whether you’re in the mood for a walk, food, or art and culture, there’s plenty to explore around campus. As a result, the area feels both lively and welcoming.
