Thanksgiving Break As Told By Buddy the Elf

Last week's much needed Thanksgiving break was a great kick off to the holiday season. Decorating the Christmas tree and beginning Christmas shopping made me wish it was winter break already. Watching Elf on repeat throughout the week made me realize just how much alike college students are to Buddy the Elf, especially coming home during the holiday season.

1. Seeing locals for the first time in months

Do I say hi? Do they recognize me?

2. Going to your favorite home town coffee shop

Nothing beats the familiar taste of your local cafe's coffee.

3. Eating a delicious home-cooked Thanksgiving dinner

This beats the dining hall any day.

4. Seeing your dog for the first time in a while

"I love you! I love you! I looove youu!"

5. Picking up a few shifts from your high school job

6. Planning all of your doctor's appointment during this week

7. Sleeping in for as long as you'd like

*Looks at the clock across the room and it reads 12:58*

8. Meticulously planning out your day to fit everything in

8. But not getting any of it done

Because you watched 3 full series on Netflix plus everything in the DVR

10. Seeing your entire crew for the first time since the summer

11. Being home alone while your entire family is at school/work

12. Decorating for Christmas because it's never too early

13. But when the week comes to an end, you have to pack up for school

*Whispers into the washing machine you don't have to pay for* There are only a few more weeks until Winter Break.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.

The day you walked onto your school's campus for the first time you were scared, excited, and unsure of how the next four years of your life were going to turn out. You doubted it would go fast and even though you weren't positive about what your future plans would hold, you had plenty of time. You figured out your major, added a minor or two, joined a handful of organizations and all of the sudden you're here. Your final semester of undergrad. Now you've got 25 problems and graduation is only one.

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up. Chances are, while personalities may overlap, each person in your friend group holds his or her own place. It is the differences which bring the groups together and keep them functioning. No matter how functionally dysfunctional your friend group may be, if you're anything like me, you feel absolutely blessed to have found such a wonderful group of humans to call "your people." Here is what your friend group might look like if they were Disney princesses (and that wasn't just a thing you all pretended in your heads):
