Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you are all enjoying a little time off and being surrounded by everyone who loves you. To college kids, Thanksgiving Break is one of the best breaks. We love it for so many reasons that I might as well list them all. So, from my family to yours, I hope you have a happy and safe Thanksgiving this year and please enjoy the many reasons we kids love Thanksgiving.
11 Reasons Why Thanksgiving Break is the Best
- You are in the homestretch! After you come back there is only like 2 more weeks of classes. And then you're DONE. You can throw that psychology book away!
- You don't have to pack up, but it is not too short. We are usually off for 5-7 days for Thanksgiving. Which means it is not like the summer where we have to pack everything up, but it is also not like fall break where we only get 2 days. It is just a nice period of time.
- Your family! Who doesn't like seeing there family?? Especially when all of them come to your house including your crazy uncles!
- The next break is Christmas! Again, you are in the homestretch! In less than a month you're off for a month!
- Macy’s Day Parade. A family tradition at my house.
- Black Friday Shopping. Can't live with it, can't live without it.
- You can pick up a couple extra shifts for the holidays while you’re home. Like mentioned before it is a decent amount of time where you can even work and make some extra money! Like I said Black Friday is craaaazzzzzyyy!
- Friends’ break is the same. Some breaks can be a different time depending on the college you go to, but you can't move Thanksgiving. Which means that you will most likely be able to see all of your bffs.
- The atmosphere. Everyone is happy. Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful. No stress or presents or pressure. Just being to getting is enough.
- THE FOOD! Saving the best for last! Who else is excited for turkey, rolls, mashed potatoes, olives, stuffing, gravy, pie, etc, etc, etc???
- The Leftovers!!! Ok, I saved the real best for last. Although I like all of the foods above the first time around, I really love when we have them for supper and also having stuffing and mashed potatoes for breakfast the next day!!!
