Heading home for the first major holiday since you have been away at school is exciting- finally some free time and family time! To make the best of your Thanksgiving break, Her Campus is leaving you with the most important things to do while you’re off campus!

  1. Prioritize family. There are a million things to do in your short time at home, but while you’re running all over town, don’t forget to spend enough time with your family.  They will appreciate it, and it will be well worth it.

  2. Get together with all your childhood and high school friends. Spending your first night back or the night before Thanksgiving with these people won’t disappoint! You’ll have a great time sharing stories and catching up.

  3. Go to your high school’s football game! It’s always fun to enjoy some football on Thanksgiving Day. Kill two birds with one stone by visiting everyonee from high school who you might not keep in touch with anymore.

  4. Collect all the sweaters, scarves, and boots you left at home. It’s finally cold for good in Rhode Island, so don’t forget to bring all your warm clothes back!

  5. Chill out for at least one day. Put homework aside and lay on your couch for a day catching up on sleep or your favorite TV show.  Added bonus: laying there with your pet and/or best friend from home

  6. Eat, eat, eat, and EAT!  Thanksgiving dinner will be a great excuse to pig out on home cooked food, but don’t forget to take advantage of this all week long.

  7. Go Black Friday shopping!  Enough said.

  8. Take care of your dentist appointment, any doctor’s appointments, and most importantly a haircut!

  9. Use your extra time wisely.  Write some of your paper, do that take home quiz, or read a few chapters you were behind on.

And most importantly….

  1. SLEEP!
