Thanksgiving break is right around the corner and I know I've heard chatter around campus about how much we all can't wait to be home. The count down is on for us CNU students who have to be here until Tuesday, but for those of you who are already home, I'm sure you can still relate to these four reasons we all can't wait to be home.

1. My family

I'm really not ashamed to admit I totally love my family, and I miss them every day I'm away at school. The atmosphere at home is so refreshing and so nice to be surrounded by people who aren't stressed about their five tests this week. The sense of humor I have around my family I don't share amongst anyone else, so to come home and get right back into that makes me feel so good. Thats always the number one reason I cant wait to be home.

2. My dogs

There really is no love like the love of a dog, luckily, I have three. I can call my parents and sisters every day but I never get to talk to my dogs (all of you with dogs understand this struggle). To be able to go home and snuggle them and get love from them, makes everything feel right in the world.

3. I am mentally unstable at this point in the semester

I can't wait to turn my brain off even if just for 10 minutes. At this point in the semester I've written like a novel in research papers, taken 500 blue book exams and read every Wikipedia page there ever was! I think everyone could use a couple days to turn their brain off before finals. (The GIF was super cute so I had to use that one)

4. The food

My moms food is so bomb all the time, but Thanksgiving is really something else. Everything at home is always home made (and organic), so much better than all the chemical ridden, frozen, cheap stuff I buy just to get me through the week. I really can't wait to be home and eat a home cooked meal.
