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!
