This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at PSU chapter.

Thanksgiving break is finally here! Although it seems like an eternity since we’ve been home, we made it! Here are some things to be excited for:

1. Endless hours of cuddling with your pet(s).

2. Two. Words. NO CLASSES!!!

3. Home-cooked meals.

4. Your parents will probably take care of you, so you can revert back to being a kid again.

5. You don’t have to cram into the ‘Bloop’ or ‘Woop.’

6. Goofy Snapchats from your college friends.

7. Endless amounts of Netflix.

8. Delicious Thanksgiving dinner.

9. Binging on social media without it affecting your grades.

10. A room all to yourself.

11. No long lines for Starbucks.

12. Hanging out with high school friends.

So live it up everyone because before you know it, break will be over, and we’ll all be headed back to Happy Valley – which is also kind of exciting. Life is good.
