things to do over thanksgiving break for college students

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
