Thanksgiving is just days away, and of course we are thankful for our family, friends, shelter, and food. But, there are also a few things that we shamelessly thank the college gods for, espeically around this time of the year
1. Google Docs
Lets get real, the biggest life savor in the game is a Google Doc sent out as your sitting in the library attempting to study with no direction.
2. Chasers
Even though most of the time it’s a knock-off brand of Coke that you’ve never heard of (and probably has touched the lips of everyone at the party) it makes that Zelko shot a little bit more bearable.
3. When the bus driver waits for you as you’re running late to class
No amount of “thank-yous” will make this man understand how happy you are that you don’t have to walk to class in the freezing cold.
4. No homework over Thanksgiving break
Wow. There are some professors with a soul.
5. Getting to pay $5 at Bents, rather than the “your ID sucks, I’m charging you $8”
Now, I can save that extra $3 for a slice of pizza.
6. Speaking of pizza, thank god for the five million pizza places in College Park
No matter where I am there’s a pizza place within a two-mile ratius
7. Open tables in East Asia
That is a very rare sighting. Very rare.
8. Not getting a ticket
Since parking tickets are second nature at Maryland, when you avoid that $75 ticket it’s one of the greatest things in the world.
9. Not falling in your 6-inch heels while walking on “frat gravel”
It’s as if it’s an obstacle course to get inside the party…I swear
10. Going to a school that’s as fun as Maryland
Self-explanatory.
