Thanksgiving is a fabulous holiday for several reasons. It’s a time for us to take a step back from the chaos of everyday life and reflect on all that we’re grateful for.
For college students especially, Thanksgiving offers a break from running from one activity to the next, and gives us a chance to remind ourselves to thank the people without whom we would not have been able to accomplish all that we have (shout out to Mom and Dad!).
As we all know, another wonderful aspect of the Thanksgiving season is the incredibly delicious food. After all, sharing a meal with the ones that we love and acknowledging all that we’re grateful for is what Thanksgiving is all about.
