It's break time.

8 Things Students Look Forward To When They Go Home For Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving

1. Seeing your family.

After a long semester, there's nothing more exciting than realizing that you'll actually be able to hug your mom. Make sure to hold tight though; it'll have to get you through the rest of the semester, exam week included.


2. Seeing your dog.

Who doesn't love puppy cuddles?

3. Free laundry.

Need I say more?

4. Free food.

As your budget for the semester declines, so does the amount of times you go out to eat. When you're home for break, all your food is free.


5. Good food.

But more importantly, it's free good food. (Shout out to Grandma's green bean casserole! I'm looking forward to consuming every inch of it).

6. Leftovers

I don't know what it is, but college students are seemingly obsessed with food. Maybe it's because we've been living off of ramen and the caf's mystery meat for the past ten weeks. In comparison to what we've been eating, Thanksgiving leftovers are a God-sent. Especially when you have them cold for breakfast.

7. Black Friday sales.

The stereotype of college kids being broke goes a long way, especially when it's true, but Black Friday sales are always a great excuse to splurge. I mean, come on, who could pass up 70% off?!

8. It's a much needed break.

By the end of Thanksgiving break our tummies are stuffed and our bodies are relaxed. That is until we realize how much work we were supposed to do.


Happy Turkey Day, everyone! Enjoy your break and don't forget to be thankful!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
