10 Things To Do With Your Mom Over Thanksgiving Break
Madison Vice

One of the reasons I've been so excited for Thanksgiving break is to see my mom. She's my best friend in the whole world! Since being away at college without her is super hard, here are 10 things I'm going to do to make my time back home more special:

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.

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
