15 Reasons I'm Thankful For Thanksgiving Break

www.seriouseats.com

It's November and it's the end of the semester, you know what that means! Five whole days of family, friends, pumpkin pie and the all important turkey! For some of us, Thanksgiving break also means thoughtfully composing a ten page paper, reteaching ourselves macroeconomics and market trends, and trying to get ahead on studying for finals. Is Thanksgiving break really a break when you have to take finals a week after? Never the less, here are 15 reasons I'm thankful for this short, end of semester non-break, break.

1. I miss my horse, my dog, and my puppy niece.

2. Black Friday shopping is just the retail therapy I need to be able to push through finals week.

3. I miss home cooked food.

4. I am in dire need of my big bed.

5. Waking up for my 8 AM class is starting to get really, REALLY hard.

6. Home is where the WiFi connects automatically and my Netflix never has to load.

7. A shower without wearing flip flops? What is life?

8. My skin needs a break from the hot, dry dorm rooms.

9. This break is the perfect time to take clothes home that you no longer wear at school.

10. My mint scented bubble bath is calling my name. Seriously, I can hear it.

11. One word. Pie.

12. A perfect opportunity to get an oil change or car wash.

13. There's nothing else to do besides finish that ten page paper, no excuses.

14. Did I mention home cooked food?

15. TURKEY, TURKEY, TURKEY!!

"I'm going to 'gobble gobble' you all up!" Pun intended.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
