So, for the first time ever during Thanksgiving, I am going to New York City to watch the Macy's Day Parade! I am so excited because I have never been to New York City! Actually, I have been to New York City, but I was an infant so to me that doesn't count.

I don't really know what to expect while I am in New York though as I am going with my boyfriend and his family. We will drive up on Wednesday the 22nd, and stay over in a hotel and then we will go to the Macy's Day Parade on Thursday the 23rd and spend the day there. Then we will sleepover at that same hotel and leave Friday, the 24th.

It is a solid plan as far as the days go, however, I don't know the exact logistics of what we will be doing on the days we are not at the parade. I will definitely be writing another article to follow up after the event!

I think that what I am looking forward to the most in the parade are the giant floats and the balloons. I am not quite sure what kind of floats will be there so that is something I am excited about! I want to be surprised!

On a different note, I am leaving to go home on November 16th, and will not be coming back to school until Monday the 27th. What I plan to do is sleep, literally. I am going to catch up on all the sleep that I have lost since I have been in college and I will also be hanging out with friends and family that I have not seen in several months.

While I am away, however, I am going to miss out on some great Thanksgiving foods. My favorite Thanksgiving food is applesauce, and not just any applesauce, but my Nana's homemade applesauce, it is so mouthwateringly good. I also love mashed potatoes with gravy, turkey, rolls, corn, but I am not a huge fan of stuffing for some reason. I have no idea why. All these foods almost making me not want to go to the parade and stay home and eat food! But there is no way I am missing New York!

Another tradition I loved doing on Thanksgiving break is going Black Friday shopping! It is the only time I am able to get all of my relatives and friends presents because they are a decent price. I hope that I will get the chance to go Black Friday shopping in New York! But again, I don't know what we will be doing. An update will be coming your way as soon as the New York Trip is over!

So, I do have a lot of great things going on over my break! I don't quite know what other breaks will look like for college students, I can imagine there will be a lot of sleeping involved though!

Have a safe break and a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
