With midterms, papers, and presentations, there is always light at the end of the tunnel--Thanksgiving break. Thanksgiving break comes at a time when we all need it most. Just when every college kid can no longer deny the fact that they miss their own bed, family, and especially their dog. Thanksgiving break is the best because its a time to recharge your battery and stock up on things you need to survive the rest of the school year until your new best friend comes along- Winter Break.

1. Seeing Your Family

Their awesome and you've got to admit, you've missed them a whole lot.

2. Your Own Bed

You never thought you loved your bed so much until now, looking back on all those nights on sleeping on a foam mattress bad from Bed Bath and Beyond makes you appreciate your bed 100X more.

3. Homemade Thanksgiving Dinner

Actually any homemade food for that matter. During this time of year, you're probably sick of the cafeteria food and miss your parents cooking.

4. Seeing Your Dog After 3 Months

I don't know who would be more excited. Your dog's probably more thankful they got their best buddy back for the weekend.

5. Your Couch

No homework? no problem! You have 3 seasons of Game of Thrones to catch up on and they are no going to watch themselves. Hey, you can be a couch potato this Thanksgiving Break! You deserve it!

6. Reuniting With All of Your High School Pals

You all have different and exciting stories to tell now that you all go to different schools. Meeting up over Thanksgiving Break is nice because it allows you all to catch up and it feels like old times.
