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.

For better or for worse

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
