Thanksgiving Break!

Can you believe we have been in school for 12 weeks! That’s three months of most of us living on our own away from our families and us surviving college! Now the semester is coming closer to an end and we will be half way through our first year as college students. We have one more week till we get our week off for Thanksgiving break and that’s exciting for those of us who are living on campus and have not seen our families that much since we came here. I am not really talking about myself because even though I live on campus I live close to home so I go home every now and then to go for a few hours and do laundry. 

My roommate on the other hand is from San Diego and has not gone home at all this year because it is so far so it is difficult and expensive to get a ride there. Her schedule for cheer also has made it pretty impossible for her to have time off during the weekend to leave because there is always a game going on. I always feel bad when I leave because I get to see my family and friends and she has to wait till Thanksgiving break to see her family. So she is really excited for this week to be over so she can go home.

 It will be nice to have a week off from school and just enjoy time with your family. I am looking forward to the week off because even though I have gone home somewhat often I am never there for that long because I’m usually just there to do laundry so I do not get to spend much time with my family and friends because I’m always in a rush to get back to campus. So it is nice to get a week off and not have the feeling of having to be rushed. This semester is really going by so fast because we have about a month left till it is over. That is crazy to think about because I feel like we just started and now it is almost over! I’m excited for winter break though, but I’m also kind of dreading it because I am going to miss my friends that I’ve made here.
