Just like many others, I don't handle awkward situations well. If you don't know what I'm talking about, these types of situations go a bit like this.

  • Your entire family mentions a boyfriend you recently broke up with at the dinner table.
  • You accidentally walk in on grandma going to the bathroom.
  • You open a Christmas present that you really wish you didn't get.
  • At a friends house and they ran out of toilet paper in their bathroom.
  • At a friends house and everyone in the house is fighting so you just awkwardly sit there.
  • You think going on a date with your friend and her boyfriend will be fun.
  • When someone waves at you and you wave back and then you realize they weren't waving at you to begin with.
  • When you have to go to the bathroom and there's a person in the stall next to you.

I was planning on writing how to AVOID awkward situations but just listing awkward situations seemed like the better option.

Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time. I'm not complaining, because I'd rather have a whole week off than three days, but there is a lot of down time. Here are some ideas as to what you can do to get the most out of your Thanksgiving break.
