Why Thanksgiving Break is a Blessing in Disguise

Ahhhh...two extra days off and all the food you can eat.

Why Thanksgiving Break is a Blessing in Disguise
Alexis Stachurski

I do not know about you guys, but I LOVE Thanksgiving Break. The food, the family, the football and just time to relax. Here are a few more reasons why Thanksgiving Break is a gift from God himself:

1. Time with family and friends

Thanksgiving is a chance to see relatives who you probably haven't seen since summer. All the aunts, uncles, grandparents and cousins all together in one home is an amazing feeling. Also, all colleges and schools have break off during this time, so your long-distance colleges girlfriends can hang most of the weekend!

2. Sleep...sleep..sleep

If you're like me, then this semester has been exhausting. Sleeping in on the weekends at school seems impossible with all the noon games (thanks MSU), plus laundry and homework pilling up. This is a good opportunity to be lazy and lounge around in your PJ's all day. I cannot wait to be cuddled up with my boo during my food coma.

3. Mental break

Besides a break from school, Thanksgiving break is a mental break as well. Chances are you're back at home, sleeping in your own bed and chilling with your pets. No pressure from your classwork (yet) and hopefully none from your family either (Sometimes Aunt Karen needs to shut up). When break is over, there's only 3 more weeks left of the semester and then we have almost a month off! Not going tropical this winter, but this next winter break will be amazing.

4. Black Friday

Now that Thanksgiving has passed, it is full Christmas shopping mode. My family gets really intense on Black Friday and usually leave dinner early to catch all the stores that start Thursday night. This is a time where we usually shop for "Adopt A Family", so it adds on top of all the "thankfulness" and good feelings.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
