Hey, these songs could be part of your awesome travel playlist!

1. "What A Wonderful World"

This song is quintessential to listen to after the haze of exams, packing, stress, emails, etc. is faded. Now you, a student released from prison for a brief interval, can truly enjoy glorious autumn--I mean, home-cooked food and a real bed. One article describes Louis Armstrong's classic as "a peaceful antidote to a harsh reality." Let's not think about school.

2. "Somebody To Love"

You sing to the turkey.

Hey, everybody loves food and Thanksgiving is usually the feast of all feasts. Or, maybe the trip back home means you get to see your significant other again—yay! And really, you can’t go wrong with Queen.

3. "Every Time We Say Goodbye"

Two sides to this: when you leave university, and have to say goodbyeto your squad as you all depart in various directions and second, this is what you say to your true bed at home when you have to return to the college bunk. But you don't have to say goodbye to Thanksgiving leftovers! Your family stocked you up plenty.

4. "Shake It Off"

In light of T-Swizzle's latest hit album (which my roommate will not stop listening to), one of her other pop wonder songs is appropriate. This is the song to hit play when you hit the road. Cruise along leaving your school worries behind and keeping that delicious Thanksgiving meal on the horizon of your windshield.

5. "I Wanna Dance with Somebody"

Segueing it into "Can't Stop the Feeling!" combines the eternal, angelic voice of Whitney Houston and also puts the groovin' hottie Justin Timberlake on your radar. Thanksgiving Break is a reason to dance! Put your party pants on (but make sure they have stretch for the food belly later) and get ready to enjoy friends, family and food.

Also, here is a list of songs with food in their titles to get you started on that Thanksgiving dinner frame of mind: http://www.songfacts.com/category-songs_with_food_in_the_title.php. You're welcome and have a good Thanksgiving!
