When most people are asked what their favorite holiday is, the usual answer is their birthday or Christmas. Although one of my favorite holidays is in fact Christmas, another one of my favorite holidays is Thanksgiving because it happens to be during my favorite season: fall. Fall is full of cool weather, spooky costumes for Halloween, beautiful colors, and of course, great food that your grandma cooks for you.
Not only is Thanksgiving the best, but also Lizzie McGuire is the best television show. I'm pretty sure she's the role model to every 90's baby, or at least was at some point. She related to many young girls during her show: she had a great family with a mom who gave great advice and a dad who needs credit for trying, great friends like Miranda and Gordo, an average amount of popularity with a bully, Kate, and an average (but sometimes great) wardrobe.
Lizzie McGuire provides perfect examples for what to expect when you go home for Thanksgiving break;
For the first time in a couple months, you are on your way home.
You walk into your big, roommate-less room at home.
You forgot what it was like to have your own bathroom.
Your mom and dad start asking how your first few months at school are going.
Of course, they ask about your midterm grades.
And you have to explain to your parents how hard college is.
Then they begin having a conversation with you about your future
When you tell your parents about what you and your friends do on the weekends.
You learn that your little brother is getting straight A's in school.
You've gotten used to being on your own and now you have to ask your parents for permission to go out with your friends.
And when you see your friends, they fill you in with the latest gossip about people from your high school.
When you tell your family and friends about your new boyfriend.
You have no responsibilities for a few days, and it's amazing.
If your family is anything like mine, this will be you:
When it's finally Thanksgiving Day, you chow down because you haven't had a home-cooked meal in forever.
And your grandma makes you a plate to take home with you.
When you are packing your bags getting ready to head back to school again and this happens
And when you're finally back at school, life hits you like:
But it's okay because you're reunited with your college friends.
Then you immediately start missing your parents, and can't wait for Christmas break.
