You have an IV of coffee hooked up to your arm, you haven't slept in three days, and your laundry pile is now classified as a small mountain range. Ah yes, it's the week before Thanksgiving break. While you're anxiously waiting to make your pilgrimage back home where you will most likely be greeted with copious amounts of pumpkin pie and cranberry sauce, it feels like an eternity. With only a few days between you, freedom, and a food baby, there is no doubt that you are in dire need of Thanksgiving break.
1. You've FaceTimed your pets letting them know that you'll be home in a couple of days.
Don't act like you've never done it.
2. The thought of seeing your siblings doesn't disgust you anymore.
You're actually kind of excited to see them.
3. Instead of your parents calling you, YOU have been calling them.
With the holiday season in full swing, you're starting to feel a little home sick. And it's totally OK.
4. You've recently dreamt of floating down a river of gravy.
Perhaps the weirdest things about this is that everyone in your hallway is fantasizing about food too, making it easier to commiserate with one another.
5. You've officially made a calendar countdown.
YAAAAASSSS THANKSGIVING YAAAASSSS CHRISTMAS!
6. You're way too excited for it to be socially acceptable to listen to Christmas music (without headphones).
7. Your stress levels have finally peaked.
You've changed your mailing address to the library and are living off of Starbucks and stale snacks from an old care package. This could potentially be rock bottom.
8. Then you remember that it isn't even finals week...
Nope, it's not rock bottom. Greeeeaat.
9. Your nap game has been too strong in preparation for your post-Thanksgiving snooze.
Okay, maybe you've been practicing all semester, but you can bet your bottom dollar that your post-meal nap will be the best nap of your life.
10. Which is simultaneously making you forget to do all of your work.
Yeah, about that.....
11. But you really don't care because you're too distracted by the thought of stuffing your face.
The olfactory hallucinations are setting in, as you're beginning to smell turkey when there isn't any turkey...
12. The "Thanksgiving dinner" in the dining hall is beginning to look marginally appealing.
For once, it looks like Sodexo pulled through with a holiday feast.
13. Wait, never mind, maybe not...
Welp, spoke too soon.
14. But, the thought of a home-cooked meal and family time is enough to get you through the week.
You'll be home before you know it.
