Five Of The Best Parts About Thanksgiving Break

For the past few months, your life has been completely consumed by college-- going to class, doing homework, staying in the little bubble that being on campus and going to school can put you in sometimes. However, when November rolls around, it is FINALLY Thanksgiving break. With this break, there are so many great things that come along with it.

1. Your OWN Bathroom

Finally you get to shower without flip flops and pee in silence. It is the small thing that mean so much, and truly it is magical.

2. Seeing Friends

One of the greatest things about Thanksgiving break is being reuniting with all of your friends from home. Many, especially those that go to college far away, do not get the opportunity to come home until this time. When the reunion takes place with everyone you love and have missed so dearly for three months, it is a glorious feeling. It makes you realize that even though everything has changed, when you are all together again, it feels just like it always has.

3. Family

One of the best parts of the holidays has always been seeing family. After being away at school, though, seeing family is even more meaningful now. There is nothing quite like being surrounded by all of your loved ones, participating in old holiday traditions, watching football together. It is so refreshing to be around people you know and are comfortable around, after being surrounded by all new people the past few months. Plus, your parents helping out with laundry doesn't hurt either!

4. Your Own Bed

This one kind of speaks for itself. Is there really many things better than getting under the covers of your own bed after a long time away?

5. FOOD

Thanksgiving has always been known for the delicious food you get to enjoy. Turkey, mashed potatoes, rolls, stuffing, the list goes on and on. After starving 24/7 at school, living off top ramen, suddenly the food is a million times better.


Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks, but after being at school, it makes you appreciate everything just a little bit more.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
