What are you most thankful for this upcoming Thanksgiving?
It could be argued that it's the scrumptious delicacies that make this day great: how can you beat eating a 10,000 calorie dinner lasting from four in the afternoon until way past midnight? The answer is, you can't.
In addition, Thanksgiving is a time to get together with your whole family, from your groovy uncle, who tells you stories about the grass he once tried "back in his day" at college, to your supremely dorky cousins.
Whether dinner goes smoothly as planned, or all hell breaks loose, there's never any lack of entertainment, because with that number of relatives sitting in a single room for a prolonged period of time, there's bound to be drama.
And who can forget about the shopping mania? Thanksgiving stands as a symbol for the dissemination of a national disease that should be entitled "S.A.D.," standing for Seasonal Acquisitive Disorder. Everyone appears to have lost their minds as they trample through their local malls, searching for anything and everything to fill their void of not having enough "stuff." Rich or poor, it doesn't matter: it's survival of the fittest in the stores on that Friday after Thanksgiving.
So it's time for students to go home, have fun, relax, reap the benefits of this Thanksgiving holiday, and get pumped to return - because running around the quad totally naked is only a few short weeks away.
