Anticipation for Thanksgiving Break

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Bates chapter.

As a first-year student, I thought that I wouldn’t get homesick but, alas, it’s happening– luckily just in time for Thanksgiving Break!

 

I didn’t get the chance to go back for October break so I’m beyond excited to get back home! I’m pretty sure this will be me on the ride home (all 8 hours):

 

I’ll be walking into my house ready to greet my fam (No flash photography please)

 

Hugging my mom, uttering those words that I was too naive to realize I would say:

Because, let’s be honest, I really did miss her, and her cooking..*sigh*

 

Meeting up with my friends, catching up on all the things we’ve gone through these past few months

 

 

Then the glorious day of Thanksgiving comes along (a.k.a “eat as much as you want and you won’t judged” day)

 

And then I’ll probably see a bunch of all my extended family members who won’t stop asking me about how college is going and what my major is

 

…College is not easy, at all. Not that anyone said it would be, but still, things are a lot harder than families realize (My family at least)

 

And maybe I’ll show them how much I’ve learned in these short few months, just to impress of course

 

And seeing all the food I’ve missed dearly while I was away

Commons is great but there’s nothing like a good home cooked meal

 

But, eventually, my journey back to Bates must commence

 

But just three more weeks of classes and then its more relaxation until another stressful semester
