After a long and gruesome fall term, a break from school is much needed before finals week.

And it’s always so exciting to go home and catch up with old friends!

You’ve been dreaming of Thanksgiving meal for months and now it’s so close.

You’re excited because you finally have a reason to get a little dolled up!

But you’re mainly just trying to contain your excitment while the food is being prepared.

Your mom sends you to the store in the pouring rain for a forgotten ingredient and you do so happily for the sake of the meal.

When the food is finally served you can’t help but feel like you need to eat everything because it only comes once a year.

And don’t forget the bottomless champagne!

Which you will certainly need when the entire family gets together.

And it’s all fun a games until one of your cousins calls you out on how many partying pictures you’ve been tagged in recently.

But you realize that even though they might drive you insane, your family will always be there for you and you are so thankful for that.

Happy Thanksgiving, Collegiettes!
