16 Reasons We Love (and Hate) Thanksgiving Break

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

1. Being able to finally catch up on sleep is GREAT.

 

2. FOOD.

 

3. Seeing your friends from your hometown after 3 months.

 

4. ….having to make small talk with friends you lost touch with….

 

5. Getting to spend quality time with our pets after what seems like an eternity.

 

6. FOOD.

 

7. Those relatives that never stop asking questions about your love life.

 

8. Not worrying about homework OR finals (for a least a few days).

 

9. Watching Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade (and making fun of all the horrible lipsyncing and props).

 

10. And then watching the dog show right after the parade. #noshame

 

11. SLEEPING IN YOUR OWN BED.

 

12. Let the holiday shopping commence!

 

13. And the decorating!

 

14. And the holiday music!

 

15. Watching even MORE Netflix and Hulu than usual.

 

16. Realizing we have to get back to the “real world” all too soon.
