Thanksgiving break is great for many reasons. You get to spend time with your family, see your friends you haven’t seen since summer, and eat bangin’ food; however, a huge draw back of Thanksgiving break is that it’s extremely short; making it easy to get stressed and lose sight of what really matters.
Here’s a list of Do’s and Don’ts so your few days at home go smoothly.
1. Do. . . respect your parents rules. No more Jimmy Johns at 3 AM and leaving your clothes all over the floor of your room. Your parents don’t want to see the mess of a human you’ve become without their guidance. And if you act responsible at home, they’ll most likely leave you alone when you’re back at school and be more lenient to let you do things that could prob kill you, like go to Ultra, or whatever.
2. Don’t. . . go out with your friends and all use your fake I.D’s at the local bar. A group of kids from different states traversing the U.S. have gathered together to spend Thanksgiving in bumblef#ck Connecticut? Riiiiiight.
3. Do . . . Make yourself a priority. Between all the happenings that come with the holidays, it is easy to forget about yourself. Spend time doing a hobby you never have time to do at school.
4. Don’t . . . Hook up with someone at home who will leave you an emotional wreck. You don’t want bad vibes following you back to school. Stay the eff away from that bro you dumped right before heading off to college, or that asshole from high school that only texts you right before you’re both home for break. Stay strong; the hook up isn’t worth the aftermath.
5. Do . . . eat like a king. Forget counting calories this break. In four short days you’ll be back at Pandini’s ordering a salad for the 3rd time that week. Enjoy your families home cooked meals and treat yourself!
6. Don’t . . . go black Friday shopping. It’s 2013 y’all. You don’t need to be throwing elbows to get the last size small sweater at J. Crew. Participate in Cyber Monday on Dec 2 instead. Sit at home and online shop in your underwear in peace.
7. Do . . . sit at the kids table. There, you won’t have to bite your tongue when you hear that one family member talk about their political views you strongly disagree with. Nor will you have to talk about all the sh### classes you took this semester that you’re desperately trying to forget. Chill with the youngin’s this year, they’ll keep you stress-free.
