Thanksgiving Break

Thanksgiving is coming up very soon, and I cannot wait. I need a break from UVA so badly. These past few weeks have been horrible. It's like I'm in that phase where I want to say "forget school." Classes seem less interesting, and I am easily bored now. The work seems to be more daunting, and easier to not do. I wake up sometimes like, "I'm going to not go to this class." Its been a struggle, but Thanksgiving is only around the corner. Even though the break it short, it is worth it. To get away from here can be nice. Just the change in scenery, and I get to see family and my friends that I've missed so much. I haven't seen one of my best friends in about 7 months. My closest friends are like brothers to me; we've been through it all and I would never change our experiences for anything. Just to be able to see them again will just change my mood and outlook on life instantly. Also, to go to my aunt's on Thanksgiving day will be great as well. To see my cousins again will be amazing. We dont really get to see each other that much, but when we do we always have fun and at the end of the day they know I have their backs and vice versa. I also like to just joke with my aunt's and uncle's. They seem to take life too seriously sometimes (it's probably because their old lol) but I end up messing with them the whole day and it makes them laugh and smile. Lastly, the fact that we wont have class for almost a week is amazing. I dont have to wake up 6 in the morning, I wont have any commitments. I can sit down and watch tv and play video games all day if I wanted to, which I might do actually. That being said, I still need to do some work. I cannot let the whole break pass and not get anything accomplished. I need to at least begin making study guides to stay on top of everything so when finals come around I wont be swamped with work. I can also start on my papers that will be due at the end of the month, and the beginning of next month. I'm not saying I will write the whole paper over break, but at least make an outline, and formulating my thoughts. Doing that will put me in a much better position coming back after this break. The break is almost here, and it's pretty much all I can think about at this point. We just have to buckle down for another week and we're all out of here. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

  1. I'm glad that you don't wanna "forget school". And I feel you, having a break (no matter how long) can definitely be the light at the end of the tunnel. Keep working man, the break will be here soon.

  3. I completely understand! Overworking yourself can lead to flat out frustration. Everyone needs a break at some point. For college students, our work never really stops, theres always something to do. I'm looking forward to have a few personal days during this break just to ease my mind so I can get back into the swing of things for finals.
