Thanksgiving Break As Told By A College Student

Ah, Thanksgiving Break has arrived!!! You know what this means right? The best 5 to 7 days of your life (for this semester). Please enjoy this and soak it all up. Because when we get back, there are only a few weeks and final exams to survive. Then it’s back to the family for even more holiday break! So what do us college kids do on break? Well, let me tell ya.

Not even just Thanksgiving dinner, everything that your family makes at home is what you've been missing out on for months on end!

1. Eat good

Not even just Thanksgiving dinner, everything that your family makes at home is what you've been missing out on for months on end!

2. Sleep, a lot

Oh my gosh, I can't stop thinking about all of these days that I'll get to sleep in until noon if I want to. No alarms, no class; hell yeah.

3. Make memories with the family

This is my favorite part, because you have your family at school, but family at home doesn't beat anything!

4. See high school friends

No matter how many you have, it's always nice to see the old gang again!

5. Watch way too much Netflix

No judgments will be made, you binge watch booboo, go ahead.

6. Go shopping with money we don’t have

Unless your family is the clutch type and gives you money on holidays like these for no reason. Otherwise, just dip into your student loans. What's a few more hundred bucks?!

7. Put off any and all schoolwork

Guess what I did with my last weekend before break? Got ahead in all of my work so this does not happen. Unless I forget about something, then I'll slave away on it later.

8. Turkey Trot

The evil 5k that takes place early Thanksgiving morning. And the even more evil family members that convince you to register. Rewards like pie are waiting after the race, though.


9. Car is packed to go home, got enough clothes for three months.

This is so me I can't even explain it any further than this picture. I blame Pennsylvania for being 70 degrees one day, and snowing the next.


10. Family asking questions you don’t want to answer

Usually the typical question of who you're currently seeing pops up, and I'm just like SWERVE.

11. Trying to put up with your siblings like

Ha, yeah they're all annoying.

12. That one thing on the table that nobody likes

Baked beans, ew.

13. Mom doing my laundry

YES, momma coming in clutch with your talent to separate my darks and my lights. Because you know I won't be doing that at school.

14. Coming back from break like

"Sweatpants are all that fits me right now..."

Happy Thanksgiving Y'all! (bet it'll be lit)

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"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!
