I don't know about you, but Thanksgiving break is a Godsend for a college kid like me. It is the perfect time to rejuvenate so you can go back and kick finals where the sun doesn't shine. These are the five basic activities that are on my to-do list.

1. Sleep. A lot. 

The rumors were true. College truly is the most exhausting, stressful, yet fun time all mixed together. Do your body a favor and get some much-needed rest.

2. Hug your dog

This is the most important thing, honestly. I totally understand the whole emotional support animal movement because that little fur ball brings me so much joy and you just need to get one so you can relate and we can be annoying together.

3. Eat so much

hey girl, you deserve it. We have worked hard this semester so treat yourself and eat that pie, or seven. Bikini body season isn't for a while so we have time to get back on that grind, don't you worry.

4. Answer annoying questions

Yes, unfortunately, it's that season where family gatherings obviously take place and you are going to be asked a million questions about school, your relationship status, and your 10-year-plan after graduation. Try to keep a positive attitude and use this opportunity to catch up with family. So yes Grandma, I am still single!! But also I missed you a lot, homegirl.

5. Be thankful

Well of course I'm gonna be cliché and tell you guys to remember what this holiday is all about and to be thankful to the big man upstairs for the people around you and the quality time spent. So, go do all of these things because I said so! Have a great Thanksgiving and eat lots of turkey!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
