Your studies may still be in full swing but you are likely to notice student's thoughts and actions are turning to the upcoming series of holiday celebrations known as The Holiday Season.
The first of these you are about to experience is known nationally as Thanksgiving Day. This is a day, always celebrated on the last Thursday in November, set aside to give thanks for blessings, benefits or the good fortune of living in the USA. Because this day is the initial celebration of this Holiday Season period nearly every institution, and this probably includes your school, spreads the celebration through the weekend. Although many businesses choose to close on Thanksgiving Day, most remain open during the following three days of the weekend.
Your campus may become empty during this period as this is often the first opportunity students have to return home to visit friends and celebrate with their family. Because this holiday involves eating and eating and eating and eating Planet College has previously posted a warning about expectations vs. reality for students during this long weekend. This warning is posted here.
Basically it says if you are putting off work intending to get to it over the break get real. You won't. You will eat your self senseless and go on an extended snooze cruise. This is to be expected. This is what this holiday is for. Take a break. Eat a lot. Kick back and be greatful you are in college in the USA.
Happy Thanksgiving from Planet College
