An insight into Thanksgiving for College Students

5 Reasons Why College Students Dislike Thanksgiving

1. Thanksgiving break= Procrastination

Thanksgiving break basically means that we still have homework because classes aren't over During the break schoolwork doesn't technically stop, so somehow were "forced" to do work in this time where we are supposed to be spending time with family.

2. The questions from family members

.

Over Thanksgiving, we students are asked various questions from how those grades are looking are looking to if you are seeing anyone. Having to answer those questions can be tiresome because all we want to do is relax and eat our food.

3. The prices of tickets to come home

When going home for Thanksgiving, you better buy your bus or train tickets around two months before so don't you don't pay through the nose. Colleges students who buy tickets a month before Thanksgiving can drop between 80 and 100 dollars for a roundtrip ticket. Sorry about your bank account.

4. Heated family discussions.

It's true; we all know it. If someone in your family isn't talking about you, they eventually start talking about someone else or some important event. Here come the family debates in which half agree to disagree. Where people call each other out and you sit back and hope the discussion leans towards anyone but you.

5. Going back to school



Finals are upcoming. We are pulled back to break mode too soon and are back to school for about 2 to 3 more weeks. There is a constant reminder that there is studying that has to be done. It's not until Christmas break that we truly get to relax and be happy for the holidays.

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
