5 Reasons Why College Students Dislike Thanksgiving

1. Thanksgiving break= Procrastination

Thanksgiving break basically means that we still have homework because classes aren't over During the break schoolwork doesn't technically stop, so somehow were "forced" to do work in this time where we are supposed to be spending time with family.

2. The questions from family members

.

Over Thanksgiving, we students are asked various questions from how those grades are looking are looking to if you are seeing anyone. Having to answer those questions can be tiresome because all we want to do is relax and eat our food.

3. The prices of tickets to come home

When going home for Thanksgiving, you better buy your bus or train tickets around two months before so don't you don't pay through the nose. Colleges students who buy tickets a month before Thanksgiving can drop between 80 and 100 dollars for a roundtrip ticket. Sorry about your bank account.

4. Heated family discussions.

It's true; we all know it. If someone in your family isn't talking about you, they eventually start talking about someone else or some important event. Here come the family debates in which half agree to disagree. Where people call each other out and you sit back and hope the discussion leans towards anyone but you.

5. Going back to school



Finals are upcoming. We are pulled back to break mode too soon and are back to school for about 2 to 3 more weeks. There is a constant reminder that there is studying that has to be done. It's not until Christmas break that we truly get to relax and be happy for the holidays.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
