1. Love: All the amazing food.
As college students our lives are filled with whatever we can make quickly. Unfortunately that doesn't always include the best food. Thanksgiving offers us a chance to eat amazing homemade meals without having to put in the work.
2. Hate: The endless questions
What school do you go to? Whats your major? How are classes? Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend? Why don't you come home more often? What are you going to do with that major? These are the questions that are the bane to every college students existence.
3. Love: Being with family
Sometimes being away for a while at school makes you realize how much you miss your family. They drive you crazy but they helped you become the person you are and you can't wait to get home and tell them all that has happened during the semester.
4. Hate: Assignments over break
There is always that one professor that excepts their students to use their break time for school. While we would rather give that professor a piece of our mind, we smile knowing the fact that the assignment won't be done until midnight the night before its due.
5. Love: Getting away from campus
While campus is an amazing place being home can also be nice. Its good to get away from the campus every once in a while. Anyway home is where the yummy food is which definitely isn't on campus.
6. Hate: Holiday traffic
The holidays always bring such joy and happiness to the world but they also tend to make people forget how to drive. The endless mass of cars on the highway make you question why going home was a good idea. You then promise never to do again....until Christmas that is.
7. Love: Thanksgiving leftovers
Leftovers have a special place in the heart of every college student but Thanksgiving leftovers are in a class of its own. We are all super grateful to our moms who send us back with tupperwares filled with the amazing leftovers.
8. Hate: The loom of final exams
While Thanksgiving means the end to the term it also means that finals are soon approaching. This scary thought makes students question whether or not its worth returning to the torture of final review sessions and all nighters in the library. TGFS (Thank God for Starbucks)
9. Love: The approach of Christmas
As Thanksgiving comes to a close it always a nice reminder that Christmas is right around the corner. The story of the nativity, stockings, trees, decorations and presents are not as far off as they seem as Novembers comes to a close.
The holidays may not be perfect but they are still an incredible time to enjoy with those you love. Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving!
