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.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.
