Long Breaks in College

Long Breaks in College Hey guys, At this point in the year I dont care if youre a senior, a green-horned freshman, or even a high school kid trying to decide whats next â€" this time of year is a struggle for us all. Weve worked hard for almost four months straight, put in the long hours at the library, even studied on the weekends, and gone to office hours to build a rapport with our professors. Just when you think you that you cant possibly go another weekits THANKSGIVING!!! Home cooked food, family, your childhood room, and most importantly A WHOLE WEEK OFF OF SCHOOL!!! (Found at http://freethanksgivingimages.com/new-thanksgiving-ideas-2015-for-dinner-food-meal-menu/) A lot of caps lock, I know, but thats how exciting it is to be able to go on Thanksgiving Break. Its a very necessary intermission between the first two thirds of the semester and that final, very vital last push after the break. It allows for us all to recharge our batteries, experience a Sunday that doesnt require us to groan as we contemplate waking up the following Monday, and allows us to let loose.  Just think about it, mountains of delicious food, TV and video games, loving family membersI dont know if I can make it another two days! But at the same time, we cant forget about all the work that can still be done while on break. Some teachers dont schedule work for over break, but some will. So dont forgetoh who am I kidding! Enjoy your Thanksgiving everyone, and make sure you eat plenty of turkey and cranberry sauce!
