The 5 things I had to do while home for Thanksgiving:

1. Eat in all my favorite places.

I did not nearly have enough time to eat everywhere I wanted to, especially with three Thanksgiving dinners. I needed bagels, BECs, pizza, sushi, chai lattes and so so much more. I needed all my Long Island favorites.

2. SEE MY BEST FRIENDS.

Oh my god, we go to college, we have seen each other everyday for the past 12 years and I haven't see you guys in months (not OK). I needed to see my best friends, my boyfriend and my long-time friends. There was not possibly enough time to see everyone.

3. Go visit my high school and favorite teachers.

The moment I walked into school with my two best friends, I honestly felt like I never left. It felt like coming back after summer vacation. I missed my teachers and coaches and was so happy to see them all once again.

4. Sleep in my bed


If you ask any of my friends, they know my bed is my favorite place. It is my safe and happy place. I call my bed "the cloud," so you know it's real. My boyfriend even promposed to me last year with it because he knew it was my favorite place.

5. Spend time with my family.

Wow, I missed these people and I got to see my whole family on Thanksgiving so that was great, too. These people feed and love me and protect me, how can I beat that? I really loved Thanksgiving break and I cannot wait for Christmas break (let the countdown begin).

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.

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.
