Post-Thanksgiving Thoughts

All of us know the feeling when it's almost thanksgiving break, and we

get a few days off to just spend with family and relax for the holiday.

We also all know the feeling when Thanksgiving is over, and we have to

go back to work, or to school. Here are some thoughts I know we are all

bound to be thinking right now:

Only 4 weeks until Christmas! Yay Christmas!

As soon as Thanksgiving is over, I am ready to start decorating for

Christmas. I start listening to the Christmas music playlists on

Spotify, I start bugging my mom to go get our Christmas tree. I am in

full Christmas mood.

Who has leftover Thanksgiving dinner I can eat?

Just because I'm in full Christmas mood after Thanksgiving does not mean

I'm over the food. Thanksgiving food is by far one of the best food

categories. Give me all of the stuffing, all of the mashed potatoes, all

of the desserts.

Wait, but does my family really have to leave?

Thanksgiving break being over means that my entire family has to leave

and go back home. My brother goes back to Boston, my sister and her

fiancé go back to Connecticut, my cousins go back to Chicago, and

Buffalo, and all over the country, and I'm left being depressed until

they all come back.

Wow the semester is almost over-I can't wait!

When I go back to school after thanksgiving break and realize I only

have two weeks left of classes, I just start to count down the days

until Christmas break is here (because it's really not that far away

when you take the time to count).

Wow the semester is almost over-I have so much to do before the semester is over.

After the excitement for Christmas break sets in, the panic of how many

papers I have to write, how many projects I have to work on, and how

many tests I have to take sets in real quick. Yes, I may only have two

weeks left, but those two weeks are about to be the most stressful two

weeks ever.

On a serious note, I am so sad that Thanksgiving (one of my favorite holidays because of the family, and of course the food) is over, but I'm excited for the Christmas season to begin!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
