Thanksgiving Break

Normally when thanksgiving comes around it truly feels like the holidays are coming. For some reason this year, in my opinion it still doesn't feel like the holidays. It could have to do with being here away from home, stuck on this campus. When thanksgiving break came around, I was so excited no matter what if it really felt like the holidays. Who wouldn't be excited? Once I got home I just didn't know where or how to start off my whole week off of school and a week at home! It was the greatest feeling ever to come home after being at school for months now. Not only at home did we have real homemade food, but I also had a car to go anywhere I wanted, and anytime I wanted to. At school I hate how I don't have a car to drive places. Without a car at school I just feel so trapped in this Illinois State bubble with not much to do on the weekdays. As break went on, I was so grateful for being home and being surrounded with all of my friends from back home and especially my family. Although, the most important thing that I was grateful and excited for was all of the homemade food that there were at my house. I had tons of food! Over break I didn't have to have the same cafeteria food over and over again, day after day. Yes, the dining centers' food isn't too bad, but I got sick of this food after a month or two of eating it everyday. I loved the dinner at thanksgiving. I stuffed myself with all the usual thanksgiving foods. I possibly ate enough to get me through these last three weeks of school eating at the dining centers.
