Between the food, being able to catch up on sleep, and not having to go to class for a few day, Thanksgiving break is one of a college student's favorite time of the year.

1. The last class before break is spent staring at the clock, wondering if it'll ever end

2. You finally get out of your class, and a feeling of pure happiness for the long weekend rushes over you

3. You leave campus (and all your worries) behind you

4. Soon, it's Thanksgiving Day, and all you have to do is focus on food

5. But not before you have to deal with your relatives talking to you about school

6. You spend the rest of the weekend doing pointless things, and not even bothering to get any work done

7. Instead, you take lots of naps and catch up on the sleep you've missed

8. You then realize that you have a ton of work to do and no time to do it

9. You come up with any excuse not to do it

10. The night before you go back to class is spent doing said work

11. You travel back to school, wishing you had a longer break but excited to get back to your friends

12. But even if you have to go back, you still have hope, because Christmas break is just around the corner!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
