Ladies and Gentlemen, I cannot wait for Thanksgiving Break. With exams coming up, I cannot tell you how much I need this break. Being one of my favorite holidays, Thanksgiving is a time to get together with your family and friends, gather around the table, and get fat. WHO DOESN'T LOVE THAT?! Get ready for thrills and frills (good frills) of Thanksgiving.

Step 1: Going home. University of Delaware has one great perk - they let us out November 18th, almost a week before Thanksgiving. Most students at other colleges come home the Tuesday or Wednesday the week of Thanksgiving. This gives us an advantage to fully experience the Thanksgiving Spirit.

Step 2: Seeing friends. Now that a few days have passed, your friends are now home. Personally, I have not seen my home friends since the Summer, so at this point I'm ecstatic to see them! There's something about my homies that I absolutely adore and cannot get enough of. Love you guys.

Step 2.5: Optional Step to workout. This may or may not be beneficial. But on Wednesday, it might be smart to you know, maybe do some cardio. You'll feel better about eating a lot on Thanksgiving.

Step 3: Waking up on Thanksgiving and smelling turkey. Get ready to have your sweatpants and baggy t-shirt on! In my case, my family doesn't do anything really extravagant. I suggest that for everyone getting super, uber-ly dressed to see other outside family, wear something that "gives" a little more stretch. I go hard. You should go hard too.

Step 4: Eating. I'm not kidding, I probably have 3 or 4 plates of food at dinner. Mashed potatoes, stuffing, more stuffing, turkey, gravy, corn, cornbread - the list goes on. Not to mention, DESSERT. YOU KNOW THAT THE PUMPKIN PIE IS GOING IN MY BELLY.

Step 5: Black Friday. OH BABY. Some may think that Black Friday is crazy. You hear on the news that at least 2 people get trampled in Walmart. BUT, my friends have always made it a tradition to do this. You find some cool stuff for cheap. 10/10 would recommend. Plus, when else am I ever going to get my Christmas gifts for everyone?

Step 6: Recovery. It's been a roller coaster for the past few days. It's time to recover, maybe some more cardio to lose the 5 pounds of food you ingested. Maybe just some sleep because you went out at 2 am to get some deals. Whatever floats your boat because you know that in a few days you need to go back to reality.

Well, only until Winter break comes around...
