Why Every College Freshman Is Looking Forward To Thanksgiving Break

I am a college freshman and personally, I cannot wait to be home in just a few short days!

Although all of these perks are temporary, they have been denied for too many freshmen at college. So now is the time to splurge and veg out with the fam for this special holiday. Enjoy the week, because it will be back to the dorms before you know it.

1. See the fam/pets

The first and most obvious reason for wanting to return home is, of course, seeing your loved ones. Of course, you give mom and dad a hug. However, sometimes seeing your pet is the best thing, because you have been separated for so long and giving them a kiss on a picture isn't just the same, as the real thing.

2. Your bed 

The Twin XL is an adjustment for most college freshman. Sometimes being able to have a little more room at home is a huge thing to look forward to. However, most likely the best thing about sleeping in your own bed is the upgrade in mattress. I bet I will have the best sleep of my life when I get home because I will no longer be sleeping on a thin styrofoam mattress.

3. Your shower

Oh My, having no more shower shoes is definitely a cause for celebration. You can have privacy and you don't have to worry about all the people that are in the bathroom with you or the dirty drain. It is amazing! Also, no long walk down 2 hallways to get to the bathroom, like in most dorms.

4. Home-cooked meal

A meal that does not come from a box or the dining hall is probably the best perk by far! What better home-cooked meal to have than Thanksgiving dinner. I can practically taste the turkey. I can't wait!

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
