6 Reasons College Students Love Thanksgiving Break
André Tucker

Thanksgiving is just a few days away, and college students are more thankful than ever to have a break from the stresses of academic life. Here are 6 things every college student is bound to be grateful for this Thanksgiving.

1. Home-Cooked Meals

Nothing is better than coming home (or traveling to a relative's house) and eating a home-cooked meal.

2. Sleeping In A Bed That's (Hopefully) Not A Twin XL

I doubt anyone actually has a Twin XL bed away from their dorm. Thank goodness those guys are gone for a while.

3. Waking Up To A New Environment

If you live away from campus, you'll have a different view in the morning. I get to look at the changing colors in my backyard; it's nice to see something new for a while.

4. Spending Time With Your Pet

I missed my dog. A lot. Getting to lay with her in our living room is one of the most rewarding things about being home.

5. Visiting Old Friends

Unfortunately, I won't have this opportunity over the break, but Thanksgiving break can be a time to hang out with your hometown friends. Hopefully you get to see some old friends and have a Friendsgiving meal.

6. Black Friday Shopping

This isn't really my thing, but I know that a lot of college students look forward to snagging some deals on Black Friday. After all, it can become expensive to buy presents for your family, hometown friends, college friends, etc.

There are lots of things college students are thankful for year-round, but being on Thanksgiving break makes students more grateful than ever.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
