Friends and Family,

In case you were wondering what reasons we college students have to be thankful for, here the top five things we are thankful for this Thanksgiving break:

1. Seeing our dogs.

Prepare for a 20-minute long reunion filled with jumping up and down repetitively, doggy-talk and possibly some tears.

2. Home-cooked food.

After eating Ramen noodles and Luchables pizza for almost an entire semester, we're pretty ready to dig into a home-cooked meal. And what better meal to dig into than a delicious Thanksgiving feast?

3. Sleep.

Don't be offended if we spend the majority of our break sleeping. We've gotten very little of it lately.

4. The lack of class.

No 8 a.m. government lecture for an entire week? Yes, please.

5. Being able to binge-watch Netflix without the guilt of avoiding homework.

Season 2 of "Stranger Things" isn't going to watch itself!

Friends and Family,

Yes, we are thankful for all of these things -- VERY thankful in fact, but we are also thankful for something else -- YOU. In all seriousness, we are grateful to have a place and people to go home to celebrate this holiday with. That is why, on this list, you guys definitely rank as #2.

What? Did you think you were going to outrank dogs? Get real.

Love,

Your Thankful College Student

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
