Gobble Gobble ladies, break approaches, and we can say we’re mighty thankful for that. We can kick our feet back for the generous timespan of two days plus the weekend, enjoy the food we could not possibly find in the dining hall, and (fingers crossed) enjoy a homework-free break. But, rather than passively complaining, this time is to be thankful for what we have and to appreciate those around us. In honor of Thanksgiving, here are ten things the Her Campus team, here at UIC, is thankful for.
