After a long month of having exam after exam and pulling all nighters, every college student is ready to go home. Some college students actually haven't even been home since they were dropped off on move in day. College students are tired of having responsibilities and having to get up early for classes. All they want to do is sleep in late and have nothing to worry about. Here are 5 reasons why every college student looks forward to Thanksgiving Break:

1. Seeing their Family.

Many students have not seen their families since they moved to college. The only time they have been able to talk to their families is through FaceTime, text messages or phone calls.

2. Getting free food.

Every student becomes basically broke through out the year because all they spend their money on food, which may come to a surprise to some people. College students get tired of eating fast food all of the time and can't wait to be able to sit down and have a family meal.

3. Black Friday shopping.

Every college student wants to go shopping, but on a tight budget is hard. Black Friday gives them the opportunity to find everything they want on sale so that they do not go completely broke.

4. Sleeping in.

Most college students have early classes because they think they won't be that bad, but they soon learn that they, in fact , are. Getting up early is no fun, especially when you have to stay up late studying for exams.

5. Reuniting with their pets.

There are a few college students that are not obsessed with their pets but the ones that are can not wait to see them on Thanksgiving. Pets are so cute and are your friends for life and honestly everything they do is adorable. Especially when they run to meet you at the door when you arrive.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. 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.
