Our long-awaited Thanksgiving break is finally here! Although everybody seems to enter Christmas mode right after Halloween, us college students could never forget about Thanksgiving. It seems to come when we need it most. The semester is almost over, finals are slowly approaching and we feel burnt-out. We all need a refresher and time with loved ones to keep us going. There are tons of little reasons why we adore Thanksgiving as college students, and we’re here to help you get excited.
Here are 7 things college students love about Thanksgiving:
- Family
-
This has to be number one, right? The best part of the holidays is spending it with the ones you love and catching up with your family who misses you while you’re away.
- Home Friends
-
Reuniting with friends from high school, catching up on college life, and Friendsgiving. <33
- Your Dog!
-
The one thing everyone misses THE MOST about home.
- Home-Cooked Meals
-
We’re sick of the dining hall. Bring on the home-cooked meals.
- … and the leftovers your mom sends you back to school with.
-
Nothing better than enjoying home-cooked meals in your dorm room!
- Black Friday
-
Good deals plus broke students — the perfect combo.
- Christmas!
-
Now that Thanksgiving has arrived, the holiday season begins. Time to update your Christmas playlists, start your shopping and stream holiday movies!
All excitement aside, Thanksgiving is truly a time for us to give back and be appreciative of what we have. Count your blessings this holiday season, Owls.
