You have an hour before you have to leave for an event and you're stuck on what to wear. What do you do? The choices of what to wear are virtually endless, which is why you have to keep one important thing in mind when deciding how to present yourself: how will everyone else be dressed? The answer is easy to find if you're willing to do your research.
First, find out whether the event you're attending calls for business attire or more casual clothing. Often, an invitation it will say what kind of dress is required. Business attire requires a suit and tie for men and a nice dress for ladies, while casual dress can be anything from jeans and a good polo to slacks and a button-up shirt.
If you decide to wing it and go with what you think is best without knowing for sure, you may end up hurting yourself in the long run. "One way people judge your professionalism capacity is through what you are wearing," says Erin Wolfram, assistant director of the University Career Center.
If you're going to a job interview, for example, the person interviewing you might see you as a just a student and not a future employee, says Wolfram. If you're struggling to find clothes for a job interview, you can always go to the University Career Center, located in the Burge Union, and check out some of their business attire in the "Professional Clothing Closet."
Do yourself a favor the next time you're getting ready for an event and be sure to do your research to avoid being the extremely overdressed or underdressed person.

COOKING A TURKEY
> In case of emergency, read quickly.
Thanksgiving is next week and for some, that means going home for a home-cooked meal. Others might not have that chance, or are cooking Thanksgiving dinner on their own for the first time. Cooking a whole turkey might be intimidating, but it's actually pretty easy. Whether you're just starting out, or you simply want to give mom a hand, follow these steps to create the perfect golden bird.
First, pick a turkey that's the right size for the expected number of guests. "I recommend 1 $ \frac{1}{2} $ pounds per person. That makes enough for generous servings as well as leftovers," says Susan Smith, a Butterball Turkey-Talk Line Expert.
Next, thaw the turkey. Keep it in the refrigerator, unopened on a tray. It takes around one day per every four pounds. For example, a 12-pound turkey would take three days to thaw.
Once the turkey is thawed, brush it with vegetable oil and set it breast-side up in a shallow roasting pan. Roast in a 325-degree oven until the breast meat reaches a temperature of 170 degrees and thigh meat reaches 180 degrees. "The average turkey is 13-14 pounds and usually takes three to four hours to cook," Smith says.
Initially leave the turkey uncovered, but when you're more than halfway through cooking, cover with foil to keep top from burning.
Holiday meals are a great way to bring people together. "We used to go out, but one year I decided we should start cooking at home with family," says Jon Coffelt, an alumnus from Lansing. "I cook the turkey every year because I like to follow directions. My mom likes to put in a little of this and a little of that."
Coffelt offers this advice: "Use your own thermometer instead of the one that comes in the turkey. They tend to overcook it."
