Thanksgiving Break

How To: Have An Awesome Thanksgiving Break

Its easy to get in a couch-potato slump when leaving college and going home for break but there are very few chances to get away from Iowa City and you have to use them all. So here are some tips to making your Thanksgiving Break awesome!

1. Sleep! – Everyone knows that at college we have deadlines and cram sessions just about every day. To make room for all that studying something has to give – our sleep. So while at home be sure to have some quality time in bed and rest up for finals week.
2. Call up old friends – Sure technology makes it easy to keep in touch with people from back home and friends going to different schools, but nothing is better than face-to-face interaction.
3. Eat – Holidays is one of the only acceptable times to completely stuff your face and then take a nice long nap after so load up on the turkey and stuffing and worry about getting back in shape at the Rec Center when you get back to school.
4. Family Time – Whether its going shopping with mom or curling up on the couch to watch football with dad, spend some time with the family. Being away from home really takes a toll on your parents and when you get home they want to see you so make some memories.

Thanksgiving break is what you have been waiting for since the start of school, its your first week long getaway of the school year and you need to make every moment count!
