What you should be doing over Thanksgiving Break vs. what you are actually going to do

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

 

  1. You should be hanging out with all your family members that you haven’t seen in months, but what you actually are going to do is spend 97% of your time with your home friends drinking absurd amounts of spiked apple cider together.
  2. You should be getting ahead on the ridiculous amount of homework and group projects that you have to magically finish before the end of the semester, but instead of being an academic weapon, you’re really just going to sleep away all the time you have home.
  3. On Thanksgiving Day, a good daughter/son would be helping their parents in the kitchen and taking some stress of their shoulders, but what you are really going to do is steal all the wine then hide from your relatives because all they ever do is ask “what you’re going to do with when you graduate”, and “Are you STILL single?”.
  4. You should be burying your face in turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and apple pie, but SIKE that is exactly what you are going to be doing. At least you did one thing right over break.

Let’s face it. We are all going to be so unproductive over Thanksgiving Break even though we are telling ourselves we NEED to get things done, or we are really screwed when we get back to school. But hey, that is what vacation is for, right?

Everyone enjoy your Turkey Day, and do not forget to get drunk with your besties at your High School Thanksgiving football game and the show the rest of the school how washed up you really are.
