What Every College Student Is Thankful For During Thanksgiving Break
Special Day

With midterms, papers, and presentations, there is always light at the end of the tunnel--Thanksgiving break. Thanksgiving break comes at a time when we all need it most. Just when every college kid can no longer deny the fact that they miss their own bed, family, and especially their dog. Thanksgiving break is the best because its a time to recharge your battery and stock up on things you need to survive the rest of the school year until your new best friend comes along- Winter Break.

1. Seeing Your Family

Their awesome and you've got to admit, you've missed them a whole lot.

2. Your Own Bed

You never thought you loved your bed so much until now, looking back on all those nights on sleeping on a foam mattress bad from Bed Bath and Beyond makes you appreciate your bed 100X more.

3. Homemade Thanksgiving Dinner

Actually any homemade food for that matter. During this time of year, you're probably sick of the cafeteria food and miss your parents cooking.

4. Seeing Your Dog After 3 Months

I don't know who would be more excited. Your dog's probably more thankful they got their best buddy back for the weekend.

5. Your Couch

No homework? no problem! You have 3 seasons of Game of Thrones to catch up on and they are no going to watch themselves. Hey, you can be a couch potato this Thanksgiving Break! You deserve it!

6. Reuniting With All of Your High School Pals

You all have different and exciting stories to tell now that you all go to different schools. Meeting up over Thanksgiving Break is nice because it allows you all to catch up and it feels like old times.

7. Pie

Yum, Pie. This is the one time a year you can eat pie for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and there are no questions asked.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
