19 Things To Do Over Thanksgiving Break

It's finally Thanksgiving, which means that all college students are breathing a short sigh of relief before they get slammed with work for their final exams. We finally have a chance to breathe, relax and catch up with our family and friends. It's also a time to eat something other than Easy Mac and cookie dough. Here are 19 things that you will probably end up doing over Thanksgiving break.

1. Catch up on all the shows that have built up in your DVR at home since September.

2. Order pizza from that good place from home that doesn't compare to whatever they call "pizza" where you go to school.

3. Sleep for 14 hours every night.

4. Get judged slightly by your parents for waking up at noon every day.

5. Bum around on the couch and surround yourself with snacks that you didn't have to buy yourself.

6. Cuddle with your pet.

7. Have a fight with your brother about watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade or Thanksgiving football.

8. Wear sweatpants to Thanksgiving dinner. Nothing is holding you back this year.

9. Eat all of the mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving. It's OK, your family knows you're in college, they won't judge you ... too hard.

10. Eat all the pie, too. It's only fair.


11. Have an uncomfortable conversation with your grandma about the outcome of the 2016 Election.

12. Make awkward small talk with your cousins about school.

13. Dodge questions from your aunt about any relationships that you may or may not have.

14. Avoid drinking in front of your family, especially if you are underage. Thanksgiving is not the place to get "turnt" off of two bottles of wine that you drink in the span of 20 minutes.

15. Hang out with your BFFs from high school.

16. Get tricked into a "family fun day" by your mom, which turns out to be cleaning the entire house.

17. Watch the new "Gilmore Girls" special on Netflix.

18. Consider going shopping on Black Friday and then ultimately decide that you can do all your shopping online.

19. Relax!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
