Now that it's Thanksgiving break, it is now time for college students to head home and spend time with family, old friends, and last but most certainly not least; good food! A week off of school may seem like a lot of time, but it will fly by. Here are five things every college student should make sure to do before they head back to school.

1. Spend time with family.

There's nothing better than being back in your own house, with family and pets by your side. We all need to catch up and spend some quality time with our families.

2. Catch up with old friends.

Talk about what's new in college and keep those old friendships.

3. Eat as much as Thanksgiving dinner as you please.

Don't let anyone tell you differently. You can worry about calories and weight gain 364 other days of the year, but not today!

4. Go Black Friday shopping.

There's nothing quite like the experience of watching people pitch tents overnight outside of Best Buy or fight over a flat screen TV at Walmart. Everyone should experience the Black Friday madness at least once in their life.

5. Take some time for yourself.

It's your break; take some time for you. Relax, binge-watch your favorite Netflix show, go sledding, I don't care, but enjoy the break because before you know it, we'll be back at school and it'll be crunch time for finals!

Happy Thanksgiving, students!
