Hey everyone! With Thanksgiving right around the corner, the only thing on my mind is my flight home to beautiful Miami. I can’t wait to break out my shorts and tank tops for the holiday season!
For most of you, this will be the first time you go home since you’ve come to BU. Since you only have a few short days that will fly by, heres a list of things you should make sure to do while you’re at home!
1. Catch up on sleep. For me, the second I lay in my own bed is a moment of utter happiness and peace. There is nothing better than a good night’s sleep at home. After a 3/4 of a semester staying up late to do work, take advantage of this week to get back on a normal sleep routine. Your body will thank you.
2. Spend good time with friends and family. Because that’s what Thanksgiving is all about, am I right? I remember last year, Thanksgiving break was so amazing because it was the first time my best friends and I reunited after each going off on the new adventure called college (cheesy, but so true.) I’m pretty sure my 4 best friends and I stayed up until 4am just talking non-stop about the last 3 months. That kind of goes against my #1 on my list, but for your friends and family, giving up sleep is worth it. 😉
3. Eat like it’s your only purpose in life. Now, I happen to think that I do this even when it isn’t Thanksgiving, but the holiday is a great excuse to gorge yourself on some of the best home-cooked meals you’ll have in a while. Even though the Thanksgiving dinner they served in Warren Towers last week was pretty incredible, nothing compares with eating amazing food in the comfort of your own home.
4. Do some schoolwork. I know, I know. Schoolwork is going to be the last thing you want to think about while you’re at home enjoying your free time. But, time after Thanksgiving break seems to move at hyperspeed. You get back, blink, and oh guess what, you have a final in 2 days! I personally have two 10-12 page research papers, an ad campaign, and a project due in early December (gross.) So, as much as I hate it, I’m going to try my best to carve out some time to get a bit of work done. Being a bit productive will make you feel better once you get back to school and see how much work you have due.
By the time this blog is posted, I’ll be soaking in the SoFlo sunshine. Wishing all of you a great Thanksgiving!! 🙂
