Hello fellow classmates! I am excited to learn and grow with you all this upcoming Spring semester. The following is a little information about me just so we can get better acquainted with each other. My name is Jasmine Palmer. I am a junior here at Towson University. This is only my second semester here at Towson since I am a transfer student but I have enjoyed every minute of my stay thus far. Prior to coming to Towson I attended College of Southern Maryland which is a community college located closer to where I live. I am a Mass Communications Major and I am minoring in Electronic Media and Film. After graduating it would be my dream job to use what I have learned in college and apply it in a job as a correspondent in the entertainment field.

Article and Photos By Jasmine C. Palmer
My sister, Jamia, could not seem to resist constantly checking her holiday text messages.
Every year I am put “Deviled Egg Duty”.
My mother prepared our family’s favorite dish, macaroni and cheese, from a recipe that has been passed down through the generations.
Everyone gathered around the newspaper to find the best deals for our annual Black Friday shopping.
The newest addition to the family, Kavon, enjoyed every moment of his second Thanksgiving.
This was Rock’s first year being apart of our Thanksgiving celebration. He is not just a dog but also a family member.
Keeping my mother out of the kitchen is almost impossible around the holidays. If she’s not cooking, she’s cleaning.
Grandma Fowlkes loves looking for bargains.
Black Friday shopping is a must every year for this family and what better place to visit than the new outlet mall in Oxon Hill, Maryland.
Everyone waited in anticipation for my mother’s famous sweet potato pies to be baked.
The traditional macaroni and cheese was fresh out of the oven and ready to be devoured!
It has been said that a family that prays together, stays together so we make sure to give thanks for all of our blessings before we eat.
Every Thanksgiving my immediate family gathers at my house to reflect over what we are grateful for. At the top of all of our list is eachother and at this time of the year we make sure to express that gratefulness and love for one another by spending quality time together in a personal setting. During this time we laugh, eat, and prepare for a little Black Friday shopping.
