While some people may be ready for Christmas (me), we have to face the reality: Thanksgiving comes first. With Thanksgiving break being this week, you may not be sure how you're going to spend it. Whether you prefer to stay at home or wander the streets, there are many different things that you can do over your Thanksgiving break. If you find yourself at a loss for ideas, this article may be for you.

1. Work.

If you're like me, this is how you will be spending your Thanksgiving break. While it may not be ideal, it pays the bills and it gives you something to do.

2. Black Friday Shopping.

Every year on the Friday after Thanksgiving, people face the insanity and go Black Friday shopping. It's not for everyone, but a lot of people use this day to get their Christmas presents. If this is how you decide to spend your time, be careful. There are huge crowds, long lines, and tons of traffic. However, there are amazing prices, and almost everything goes on clearance.

3. Put Up Your Christmas Tree.

I know, this break is for Thanksgiving. However, there are still three days left of your break once Thanksgiving is over. That's ample amount of time to cover your house in Christmas decorations! It's alright to put up Christmas decorations as long as you remember to celebrate Thanksgiving.

4. EAT!

This is the best part of Thanksgiving. You can eat as much as you want, and you won't get judged for it. You want a fourth plate of food? You go eat that fourth plate of food! However, don't forget to wear stretchy pants.

5. Give Thanks.

This is the point of Thanksgiving. You are supposed to give thanks and be grateful for everyone and everything you have. While the food is amazing, we should remember the true meaning of Thanksgiving.

6. Relax.

It's your Thanksgiving break. Relax. You don't have any homework to do, no essays to write, and no early morning classes. Take the time to breathe and give yourself a little R&R.

Even though it will end far too quickly, enjoy your Thanksgiving break. Spend time with your family and make the most out of every moment. For some people, Thanksgiving is one of the only times they get to see their family. Well, take advantage of that. Play with the kids, talk with your cousins and siblings, and let your grandparents pinch your cheeks. Thanksgiving is the time of the year when we're supposed to give thanks for everything in our life. So that's what you should do. Give thanks for your family and friends. Be thankful that you've survived school so far. Appreciate everything that you have, and make memories that will last the rest of your life. Happy Thanksgiving!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
