19 Things To Do Over Thanksgiving Break
A.tday.us

It's finally Thanksgiving, which means that all college students are breathing a short sigh of relief before they get slammed with work for their final exams. We finally have a chance to breathe, relax and catch up with our family and friends. It's also a time to eat something other than Easy Mac and cookie dough. Here are 19 things that you will probably end up doing over Thanksgiving break.

1. Catch up on all the shows that have built up in your DVR at home since September.

2. Order pizza from that good place from home that doesn't compare to whatever they call "pizza" where you go to school.

3. Sleep for 14 hours every night.

4. Get judged slightly by your parents for waking up at noon every day.

5. Bum around on the couch and surround yourself with snacks that you didn't have to buy yourself.

6. Cuddle with your pet.

7. Have a fight with your brother about watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade or Thanksgiving football.

8. Wear sweatpants to Thanksgiving dinner. Nothing is holding you back this year.

9. Eat all of the mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving. It's OK, your family knows you're in college, they won't judge you ... too hard.

10. Eat all the pie, too. It's only fair.


11. Have an uncomfortable conversation with your grandma about the outcome of the 2016 Election.

12. Make awkward small talk with your cousins about school.

13. Dodge questions from your aunt about any relationships that you may or may not have.

14. Avoid drinking in front of your family, especially if you are underage. Thanksgiving is not the place to get "turnt" off of two bottles of wine that you drink in the span of 20 minutes.

15. Hang out with your BFFs from high school.

16. Get tricked into a "family fun day" by your mom, which turns out to be cleaning the entire house.

17. Watch the new "Gilmore Girls" special on Netflix.

18. Consider going shopping on Black Friday and then ultimately decide that you can do all your shopping online.

19. Relax!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
