Thanksgiving break is swiftly approaching and while it would be typical of me to make a list of things to do during this time off from school, I thought I'd throw in a plot twist and compose a list of things NOT to do during break. This could get weird, so hope you enjoy.
1. Live in the guilt eating too much
Literally, it's Thanksgiving. This is a prime opportunity to stuff your face with as much as possible with little to no judgement at all. Embrace this chance, and enjoy it.
2. Procrastinate your homework
I was thinking about pressuring you into neglecting your responsibilities because it's supposed to be a "break" but seriously, dude/dudedette you have to be at least a little productive. As soon as you get back to school, life is going to smack you in the face and you gotta be prepared.
3. Neglect the opportunity to sleep as much as possible
While we get to eat as much as possible, our calendars should hopefully be freed up a little to make room for sleep! College can literally wipe us out sometimes so take this chance to get some much needed and well deserved rest.
4. Forget about your friends from school
They miss you. Text them. Facetime them. Something. Make time for your family but show your loyalty to your friendship by keeping in touch with your college buddies and ask them how their break is going.
5. Move to Canada
I told you this could get weird. But seriously America, we're going to be okay. It's Thanksgiving and one thing we all have to be thankful for is the rights that we have as Americans. Unless your decision leave the country has nothing to do with who's in office but your own dreams and desires. In that case, go!
Short and sweet, I know but there are a few things that you shouldn't do during Thanksgiving Break. Take some time off and enjoy it, because you deserve it.
Until next time, be nice to people and do good things.
Happy Holidays!
