10 Things To Do With Your Mom Over Thanksgiving Break

Madison Vice

1. Have a Movie Marathon Day!

My mom and I both have a Harry Potter obsession, so we already have a movie marathon planned! Plus, all of the Harry Potter movies are coming out on Netflix soon- how cool is that???

2. Go Get Pedicures and Manicures!

Everybody is broke while they're in college, so I haven't been able to splurge on getting a pedicure (nor have I had the time!), so my mom and I are definitely going to have a spa day while I am home for break.

3. Bake Thanksgiving Goodies together!

This is probably my all time favorite thing to do. My mom is always trying a new recipe or baking something super yummy, so I can't wait to be home and try the new dishes she's discovered! Hopefully, I'll learn a few tips and tricks from her this week too.

4. Go Black Friday Shopping together!

If you're anything like me, then you LOVE to shop. And a day dedicated to deals and bargains is right up my alley!!! Spend this day with your mom; you may even be able to grab a few Christmas presents!

5. Decorate Your House for the Holiday Season!

This one should probably wait until the day after Thanksgiving; however, crank up the Christmas carols and start hanging red sparkly ornaments and garland everywhere. My mom has the best taste in holiday decorations, so I can't wait to see what she has in store for this year!

6. Help Her Out Around the House

I know, it's not the most fun thing to do during Thanksgiving break, but she'll appreciate it. Our moms do so much for us, and we should give back to them every once in a while!

7. Give Her A Makeover!

My mom loves letting me practice my hair and makeup skills on her, so this is a super fun way for us to spend time together!

8. Have A Girls Only Date At Your Favorite Restaraunt!

My mom and I both have an undying love for Mexican food, so you can bet that we'll be having a queso date at our favorite Mexican place as soon as I get home.

9. Go On A Vintage Shopping Spree!

This one is a little different than the Black Friday shopping option. Going to the local flea market, antique shops, and vintage stores is so much fun. There are so many cute little trinkets and things you can find, especially around the holiday season. Take your mom, and she is sure to enjoy the Christmas themed antique decorations you can find at vintage stores and flea markets during this time of year.

10. Spend Your Last Day At Home Doing Your Mom's Favorite Things!

Eat her favorite food, watch her favorite movie, lounge around in your PJs and cuddle with your pups. Your mom will appreciate this lazy day full of her favorite things- including you.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
