18 Things You Think While On Thanksgiving Break

Thanksgiving.com

Thanksgiving Break: the biggest break since school started, but the tease leading to Christmas break.

During this time, we all have a lot on our minds. Whether we're back in the comfort of our own home, traveling, or joining a friend's family, I'm certain we've all thought these 18 things:

1. HOME. MADE. FOOD.

2. My family is the best.

3. I can't walk—I've eaten too much.

4. Free laundry!

5. Finals is in two weeks.

6. Bless up for leftovers.

There's a reason Thanksgiving is only once a year: the leftovers last a week.

7. Please for the love of all things good, no one bring up politics at the table. Or ever.

8. I don't want to go back.

9. Okay, I get it, you live somewhere cool.

10. Do these last two weeks even matter?

They're just for attendance points, right?

11. My Christmas playlist is about to be LIT like my tree.

12. Black Friday shopping.

Wait, I'm broke.

13. And Cyber Monday shopping.

Yep, still broke.

14. But really, do I have to go back?

15. What day is it?

16. Wait. HOW many school days left until finals?!

17. #SquadGoals

Because nothing beats seeing your best friends.

18. It's okay, I'll be back home soon enough.

Overall, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, no matter where you were or whoever was around the table. Remind yourself of the love, laughter, and rest, as you survive these next few weeks.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
