Grab your drumsticks, get your mashed potatoes and gravy on, it’s that time of year again! Yes, I am talking about Thanksgiving, with its vast variety of foods; some hot, some cold, some sweet and others just right. No matter what your fancy when it comes to this holiday, one thing for sure is you will walk away from the table just as stuffed as that bird you just devoured.
This time of year for me is one of my favorites, Christmas being my other favorite. Now, this glorious food filled festival of a holiday may be focused around a feast fit for kings, but I have one reason why other than the food for favoring this particular holiday. The reason I like this holiday so much is it’s a time where I get to hang out and enjoy the company of my entire family. I have a very big family that all comes together on this day. Celebrating of course the Thanksgiving feast, but more importantly they celebrate the time in which we all come together and share some good laughs.
Now, since this is a college newspaper it wouldn’t be right to not relate something to college. Well, here is another reason why I enjoy Thanksgiving so much. It is the fact that I have a week of no classes, no worries and more importantly no homework! With that said shame on you professors who assign massive amounts of homework on Thanksgiving break. This time is for us students to relax from the 11 weeks we have been working our butts off to bring home the grades! This week long break for some of us is the only time besides winter break that we get to see our friends and family back home, not worry about writing a paper, reading a book or solving assignments 3,5,7,9 and 21-70 on pages 414-430.
I hope that you all can enjoy your holiday season and have fun with friends and family by stuffing your face and having some much needed and well earned laughs. To students, staff and faculty, enjoy your week off and go have some fun! If you have homework, just remember this; don’t worry about it over break because you know you’re going to be doing it Sunday night after you get back on campus! Enjoy and happy gobble gobble day (Thanksgiving)!!!
