Today marks the first day of Thanksgiving Break and it couldn’t have come at a better time. With school work to social change, Amherst students have experienced “the most” these past few weeks. Whether you are going home, going on a vacation with friends or family, or you are staying on campus, here are some things that we can all relate to when going home for the holidays.
Taking showers without slippers on
Because who knew you would the feeling of water on your toes.
Eating home cooked food.
Suddenly, mom’s beans and rice that was at every meal is like a delicacy
Seeing your family pet
Even Henry the hamster seems excited to see you!
Educating your family about your college experience
Can we talk MORE about how popular I am on campus rather than the fact that I declared Studio Art instead of Econ…sorry dad
Seeing your friends
CLIQUE
Filling Instagram pics that show off all the fun times you are having
As long as I get those likes…
Speaking in your native tongue
Whether its Spanish, Chinese or Brooklynese…everyone has a dialect of their own
Eating at your favorite restaurants
There is only so much home food you can take.
Visiting your old stomping grounds
You may not want to retake high school, but that park across the street holds good memories
Appreciating Amherst more
Because we all know that after awhile we miss our Purple Pride
