Thanksgiving is a good time for everyone.
You get to see your family again, eat good food, and watch football. Thanksgiving can be a headache, but it has it's perks, especially for college students. So here are 13 reasons why Thanksgiving is the best holiday for college students.
1. It's a break from school.
This is probably the first time you've had off since Labor Day, so it's nice to relax and enjoy the break while you have it.
2. You get time to mentally prepare yourself for finals.
They're probably coming up in a week or two. Get prepared.
3. You get to eat as much food as you want and not feel bad about it.
It's Thanksgiving; everyone pigs out.
4. The meals are home-cooked.
Let's face it: campus food is gross and what you make in your apartment isn't nearly as good as what mom makes. Enjoy the feast while you can. There will be plenty of turkey for you to take back to school.
5. You get to sleep in your bed again.
Honestly, there's no better feeling.
6. You get to see your dog/pet.
I lied. This is the best feeling. Being able to see your dog and having it lick your face cause it missed you makes your heart melt.
7. Your friends are also on break, so you can see them, too.
Always nice being able to catch up with your friends from home. Plus, you have someone to go Black Friday Shopping with.
8. You have someone taking care of you again.
Thanks mom and dad, for cleaning up after me, feeding me, and letting me be your little baby again even though I can clearly take care of myself.
9. You get to see your family.
It has probably been a few months since you've been able to see everyone. Take the time to spend time with them even though they may ask you all the same questions.
10. You don't have to pay for your laundry.
If you're lucky, your parents will even do it for you. Having to pay $3.50 a load for laundry is annoying, especially when I have a washer and dryer in my apartment.
11. You can work over break.
Although it is a break, being able to make some extra cash didn't hurt anybody.
12. No group projects.
This is the time of year when every professor starts to assign them. Group projects are the worst, so it's nice to get a break from them.
13. No alarms.
Sleep in. Cuddle with your dog. You deserve it.
