Congratulations! Exams are over, and projects are done. You have survived Nightmare November!
Now, Thanksgiving Break is finally here and it will fly by almost as fast as you can say pumpkin pie.
So, put on your eating pants because it’s time to prepare yourself for the best Thanksgiving break.
1. Set aside some ~me~ time.
OK, Mom and Dad. You think that locking myself in my room for three out of the five days of break is a lot? When I go MIA at Christmas, you'll know where to find me.
2. Try to see as many friends as you can.
I'll see Amelia on Saturday at noon, then Elysia at 6 p.m., and Olivia, Taylor and Ryan at 10 a.m. tomorrow for breakfast? When will I see Caela, though? It’s so hard being so wanted.
3. Hit up all your local favorite food chains and restaurants.
Dream Big. Reach for the stars. Grab Dunkin' Donuts on the way home from Chipotle. Believe it and you will achieve it.
4. Purchase anything that will help you make it out of the semester alive.
Chips? Check. Winter Coat? Check. Water? Check. A jar to hold all my tears? Check.
5. Sleep in.
Eight hours of sleep? That's for the weak. Twelve hours? Now that's what I strive for.
6. Watch the Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Beautiful news. You can sleep in and still wake up to see parts of the parade. A parade pajama party? That’s simply family bonding at its highest level.
7. Decide if you can survive Black Friday shopping.
Not sure about you, but I like my life, and I don’t plan on losing it over a new pair of shoes. However, if those shoes are to die for, then go ahead! Risk it for the biscuit.
8. Enjoy the company of your family.
Having downtime with your family doesn’t happen often, so rest up, take it all in and remember to pet your dog or cat, too.
