The One About the Best Parts of Thanksgiving Break
Thought Catalog

It's almost that time of the year again: Thanksgiving break. Arguably the best part of the college semester for these reasons:

1. You are finally HOME! And for a substantial amount of time.

There is always that one fight though...

2. And then there's the FOOD!

Most times the turkey doesn't quite turn out as planned.

3. And the game

Nothing will take the place of the A&M TX game.

4. And Friendsgiving!

When you finally see all your friends for the first time in three months!

5. Fall Semester is almost over.

Only one week of classes after Thanksgiving Break!

6. Therefore, Christmas break is so soon.

There's only 31 days from Thanksgiving to Christmas.

7. And you get to decorate the tree.

Possibly the best part of Christmas.

8. And start Christmas shopping.

Black Friday and of course Christmas sales.

9. And next thing you know you'll be on a vacation from school for a month.

The best part about college is no homework AT ALL over Christmas break.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
