College Lesson Learned #32

#32- Thanksgiving is a college kid’s excuse to eat a lot of really good food. Honest Abe was thinking of us when he created Thanksgiving.

So if you go to school and live over a few hours away, often times you will not go home until Thanksgiving break. It is one of the most important breaks just because it is the last break you have before final season starts.

But that’s not the only reason why Thanksgiving rocks.

Food. Food is one of the best four letter words in existence. It sounds good, hopefully looks good, and usually tastes good. It keeps people sane… and as you know there is a lot of it at Thanksgiving.

After eating campus food for months and also living off of Easy Mac and Ramen, a home-cooked meal is approximately 73.4% better than it normally would be (and if you know my mom, that is hard to believe because every meal is the greatest).

Thanksgiving is even better- It’s a home-cooked feast in large quantities. And if your family is anything like mine, Thanksgiving usually ends up being a 2-4 day event. We cook way more than is necessary.

Here's next year's Thanksgiving strategy for those of you who don't already do this: eat lots of food and expand and stretch your stomach in the days leading up to Thanksgiving. That way, you can capitalize on the culinary opportunity that is quite literally laid before you so that you can literally handle everything on your plate.

I'm thankful for Abe. He decided to make college students' tummies happy before they die of lack of sleep. Thank you sir.

Moral: Food=good. However, Thanksgiving= happy college students who ate too much and has a tummy ache. Tummy ache= successful Thanksgiving break.
