8 Things College Students Think About Over Thanksgiving
Marcus Quigmire

The glorious time has come upon the college population of America... THANKSGIVING BREAK! This means tons of homemade food, sleeping in your own bed, seeing family, and the glorious side affects of a turkey coma. However, lingering in the back of most students' minds is the horror and the terror coming in a few weeks: finals. The moment you step back on campus after break, the stress of the last few weeks of school and finals enter your mind. If you're anything like me, you've already started slightly stressing about finals and other things school related. Here are some of the thoughts I have around Thanksgiving break...

1. Ugh, I wish I could eat Thanksgiving food for the rest of my life.

Thanksgiving food is the best holiday food, period. Unfortunately, the caf at my school does not offer Thanksgiving food year-round.

2. I bought so much stuff on Black Friday! But wait now I'm broke...

Yes the deals are great and enticing, but your bank account doesn't care what day it is. It speaks the truth.

3. When break was supposed to be relaxing but you're running around trying to see your whole family.

Don't get me wrong, I love seeing all of my family members. But there's only so many hours in a day, ya know?

4. Realizing how great having your own bathroom is.

If only your room at college had a bathroom in it...

5. When you love being home but miss all your friends from school.

Even though you spend the majority of your time with them, days apart feel like years.

6. I'm bored...

7. Break = binge-watching Netflix

One season a day? Challenge accepted.

8. I love not doing school! But wait finals...

Eats more turkey to forget about finals...

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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
