Thanksgiving break is a wonderful thing in the world of a college student. We see family and high school friends, we eat food other than ramen, but mostly we sleep. We nap because we are exhausted. We nap to avoid studying for finals. But mostly, we nap to avoid the "Do you have a boyfriend yet?" and "How's your GPA?" questions that relatives love asking. If your college student disappears, do not worry. We are most likely just engaging in one of these naps.

1. The "not a dorm room bed" nap

Chances are, your bed at home is significantly comfier than your twin-sized dorm room bed. You only have a short time to spend with it, so be sure to make it count and maximize napping time.

2. The "I missed my pets" nap

You're lying if you say you don't miss your pets. They are fluffy, they don't judge you for repeatedly saying "C's make degrees," but most of all, they are expert napping buddies.

3. The "tripping on Tryptophan" nap

Most of us have been there. If it is not us, it's our uncle who fell asleep on our living room recliner. No shame in this nap because it's the best of them all. When you wake up, you will most likely be greeted by a family member with pie.

4. The "I should be studying for finals, but I'm on a break" nap

You could study, finish that lab report, and write that essay, but why would you? You've tirelessly worked for months, so you deserve a little down time. Professors should know not to assign projects over breaks anyway, right?

5. The "watching movies with the family" nap

One of the best parts about Thanksgiving break is family time. This usually entails movie marathons with your siblings or watching cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies, but always ends in a nap. It's totally fine. You deserve it.
