In about a week and a half from now we will officially be on Thanksgiving break. For many students, this will probably be the time to catch up with school work or just get more sleep at night. I am very excited because this will be the first time that I go back home since I arrived here at Purdue. This semester has actually seemed like it has gone by pretty quickly but there have been times (especially during exam weeks) when the days felt really long. I have to leave for the airport next Tuesday night and catch a red eye flight, but I think that the flight won’t be too bad because I will be gaining three hours of time when I get back home. I think that many people will enjoy this break whether they go back home or not. The people that go home will obviously get to spend some time with family and friends. But staying here at Purdue may not be so bad either because some students can probably wake up early and go shopping on Black Friday with friends. I know that I will probably buy some things for the dorm room on Black Friday. My roommate exchanged rooms with someone who was a friend so now a good friend of mine is rooming with me. So we are probably going to buy a futon, a TV, and some carpet. I also definitely need to buy more clothes for the colder weather because I have worn some of my thickest clothes on some cold days here and I was still pretty cold. I will also bring back my stereo and guitar from back home when I get back to Purdue that way I have something fun to do on my spare time. This Thanksgiving break should be a good time for everyone as we all can look forward to spending some time with friends or family.

Almost Thanksgiving Break

Thanksgiving: every student on the campus is eagerly waiting for that. However, I wish we had the entire week off starting from Monday itself and everyone’s exams would be over by Friday. However, I agree with you on the fact that students finally have time to catch up with their studies and sleep and even meet up with their families. However, I feel that international students would miss their families even more as the campus is going to be almost empty. Apart from this, another disappointing thing for them is going out almost every day in the cold to get their lunch and dinner. However, holiday season is the best time for shopping, especially Black Friday sales. It is the best time for students to buy gifts for their family and friends and share the happiness. I hope everyone is able to refresh themselves during this break and get all pumped up for the finals. Enjoy your time with your family. ENGL 106
