Stages Of Thanksgiving Break As Told By Friends

Jazmin Anselmo

Thanksgiving break is always one of the better breaks during the school year. Although finals are rapidly approaching for students in college, it's always nice to go home and relax for a week. Here are things that college students experience during Thanksgiving break as told by Friends.

1. The feeling of finally being done with school for a week

Finally, no more homework or tests. You can finally relax and enjoy that movie you've been meaning to watch but just couldn't find the time during school.

2. Food that isn't Ramen Noodles

Ramen is the quick and easy alternative. But, a real meal made by someone other than yourself feels like it's too good to be true. Especially the Thanksgiving meal!

3. When you no longer are in class with that one person

Everyone has that one person in their class that asks way too many questions on something the professor just explained. Thanksgiving break is great for getting a break from that person for a while.

4. When your family asks you to do something

Yes mom, I would pick up my siblings from school any other day, but I'm on break!

5. Finally getting to see all of your friends

College friends are amazing because they are always around when you're at school. But when your home, your old high school friends bring back the bittersweet memories that you'd give anything to relive just one more time.

6. Looking at pictures with family and realizing all of the weight that you gained while you weren't home

All of us who are passed our freshman year know that the freshman 15 is a real thing. Now on to the sophomore 20!

7. Feeling smarter than your cousins at Thanksgiving dinner because you're in college and they aren't

How's still being in high school? College is great, thanks for asking.

8. Having to share a room with siblings when family starts arriving

When all you want to do is be comfy in your own bed but you find out that you have to share to make room for all the family.

9. Realizing that finals are 2 weeks after you return from break

Maybe I should have been studying during break?

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
