Ever since I was younger, when asked what my favorite holiday was I would say Thanksgiving. A lot of people would be confused because everyone's favorite holiday is Christmas. Thanksgiving is coming up, and I'm getting so excited! Here are 9 reasons why we should love Thanksgiving!

1. FOOD!

Giphy

I love food! On this special holiday I eat the best food ever. Nothing beats home cooked meals.

2. The leftovers

Giphy

We always have leftovers for DAYS! Leftovers are literally my best friend. I bring leftover Thanksgiving to work and to school until it finishes.

3. Guilt free eating

Giphy

Honestly on this day you can devour as much food as you want and you won't be judged for it. You won't feel bad for overeating because it's a holiday that requires you to eat a lot.

4. No school

Giphy

Even though we have no classes for a few days, I appreciate it. We need a break from school from time to time.

5. Means the new year is coming

Giphy

Time sure does fly by. Whenever Thanksgiving passes I then realize the new year is almost here.

6. Family time

Giphy

Sometimes you only see a lot of your family on this day and it feels good to get together and talk.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals!

Giphy

I don't care what anyone says about Black Friday, I love it! I've been going Black Friday shopping for 11 years now and will never stop going. I get the best deals on this day. Cyber Monday is great too!

Thanksgiving themed episodes of your favorite shows

Giphy

A lot of my favorite shows have Thanksgiving themed episodes, and those are always great.

9. Being thankful

Giphy

While you're sitting down with your family, eating your food you'll look around and see how blessed you are. Some people don't have food or family and you have both. You'll feel very thankful for your life.

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.
