If you have no plans over Thanksgiving there are some things to do over Thanksgiving and they are:

1.) Go Black Friday Shopping to get some Christmas shopping done with your family and friends. Sometimes there are some great deals in stores that you want to shop at.



2.) Making the Thanksgiving dinner especially trying all the different sides to have with the turkey on Thanksgiving Day. Yummy.


3.) Watching a football game with your family and friends or just by yourself. It depends on if you have a sports household. It is nice to watch a sports game with the ones you love.


4.) Sleeping in or waking up early to watch a Thanksgiving Day Parade either the Detroit Thanksgiving Day Parade or the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on TV. It is great to watch it with the ones that you love and enjoy watching it with.

5.) Some families and friends wake up extra early to do the Turkey Trot down in Detroit or go to the Parade as well. It depends if it is a tradition or not in the family.


6.) Also down in Detroit there is the Ice rink down at Campus Martius to go Ice Skating with the whole family. If you do not know how to skate you can go with friends that know how to. It is a great experience to go down to Detroit to ice skate and have fun.

7.) If you are a theatre nerd go see a show downtown or in your community. Wizard of Oz is coming this weekend as well as a few other shows which is Live theatre. Also in a my local community there are some shows as well such as Promises Promises Musical which runs for two more weekends. It runs over Thanksgiving break and the first week of December.

8.) Another option over break is to maybe take a nap. After eating all that food you would need to maybe take a long nap.

9.) It is also great to catch up with friends that you have not seen in a while to hangout with them. Go and see a movie, or just hangout at each other's houses. It is great to be with the ones you love and are close to. Those are the best friendships ever.

10.) Catch up on projects, assignments and start studying for final exams. Try not to get behind in all of your assignments because the semester will be almost over after Thanksgiving Break.

As a college student there are different options to do during the Thanksgiving break from school. It is always fun to see people that you haven't seen in a while and catch up on tv shows that you haven't watched in a while. When being home from campus or a commuter student it is great to have an amazing cooked meal for Thanksgiving which we have a couple days after.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
