8 Thoughts We All Have On Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is definitely one of the best holidays. Everyone looks forward to the feast and to be with family. It's a chance for all of us college students to go home and reunite with family and friends while enjoying being home at the same time. Many of us probably have the same thoughts in our mind over this holiday.

1. Home Sweet Home

By the time Thanksgiving comes around almost all college students are ready to go home for a few days. You're in need of some home cooked meals, your pets and a couple loads of laundry done courtesy of your mom. It's the point in the semester where most of us can't wait to be home and have a break from school. And if you're a commuter student like me, you're excited for all of your friends to be home and to be reunited with them.

2. TGE turns to KMS

Thanksgiving Eve is such a huge going out night leaving us hungover on Thanksgiving. Being reunited and seeing everyone from home is fun, but then you wake up the next morning being too hungover to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. And it hits you even more once your little cousins are running around screaming before dinner.

3. Do Not Disturb

Laying on the couch hoping that your mom doesn't call you to come help her clean or cook. Just let me watch the parade in peace!!

4. "How's school going?"

Holidays always come with so many questions from your family like ,"How's school going?" And you always reply with "Great!" even though you probably just failed a test, had two breakdowns last week and are already having anxiety over all the finals that come right after break.

5. Let the feast begin

You walk into the kitchen ready for the turkey and the feast that comes with it. Everyone's thinking "Let's get this dinner started."

6. Can't stop, won't stop

It's halfway through dinner and you're so full but you must keep going...it's too tasty to stop now.

7. Bring on the food coma

A Thanksgiving feast always gives you a food coma. As soon as everyone is done they are headed straight to the couch to digest the mountains of food they just engulfed. You feel like you're going to explode if you move, so there's nothing else to do other than just lay there.

8. Ready and refueled

Now you have come out of the food coma, you're ready and rejuvenated for the craziness of Black Friday. Time to decipher the perfect plan to catch all the sales.

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
