1. Good Food

Let's face it, college food isn't awesome. Homemade food is very awesome.Thanksgiving is a time to stuff our faces with turkey, pie, and mashed potatoes. My mom is basically a master chef when it comes to making an amazing Thanksgiving dinner. I may not be the most talented chef, but I'm determined to try making some snazzy Pinterest recipes this Thanksgiving. As long as the recipe is super simple, I think I'll be okay. Maybe.

2. Thanksgiving Break

No school! I need a break. School is hard. I have an overwhelming amount of Netflix to catch up on. I miss my own bed. Thanksgiving break is even better this year, because my university gets an entire week off! I don't know about you, but I need time to eat ice cream with friends.

3. Black Friday!!!!

Black Friday shopping is crazy. I love it. This sacred Thanksgiving tradition is getting crazier every year. Black Friday always starts earlier and is more crowded every year. However, it is so worth fighting the crowds. I'm a very broke college kid, so I gotta get the deals while I can!

4. Starting the Christmas Season

It is officially okay to play Christmas music and decorate the tree. I've been waiting for the Christmas season all year! I am obsessed with Christmas decorations, Christmas cookies, music, holiday festivities, and everything that involves holiday spirit. There are so many opportunities to try out those wonderful holiday Pinterest craft ideas. P.S. Yes, I decorated my door like this for Christmas.

5. Friends and Family

Thanksgiving is all about spending time with friends and family. I am so excited to be home and have extra time for Thanksgiving celebrations with friends and family. This time of year is a great time to celebrate the wonderful people in your life. Be sure to tell your loved ones just how thankful you are that they are in your life!
