5. Family Feud When going home for the holidays, fighting with the family is inevitable. However, instead of just waiting for your parents to nag you about your laundry or give you a lecture on being responsible, why not fuel the fire yourself? Wear a fake mustache to dinner with relatives you’re still awkwardly unfamiliar with, or spend most of Thanksgiving dinner convincing your grandmother to sponsor your campaign to legalize marijuana. After all, despite all the loud, crazy, awkward chaos of the holiday break, fighting is what reminds us that we all love each other no matter what. 4. Experience your favorite movie series Now that you have the time, the only question is which one? Be it Lord of the Rings, Star Wars or any number of the classic cinema escapades — it’s all aboard the Hogwarts Express with Ben and Jerry in tow. Shame is left far behind in times such as these. So don’t feel the least bit guilty. In fact, dress the part of your favorite character and re-enact the series when it ends. All that handy work with a light saber might end up burning off some of the cookie dough calories. 3. Hang out with high school friends long enough to remember why you don’t hang out with them anymore As self-explanatory as the third tip is, we all know after a few texts about “game night,” we’re going to start to feel guilty and show up in time to eat nachos and play Uno with the old high school gang. Although it doesn’t sound half bad at first, the constant drabble about the difficulties of community college and remember-when’s from ninth grade are going to make a root canal seem more appealing. You’ve changed, met new people and been to new places while they’ve barely stowed away their Pokémon cards. They may have more food in their fridge than you, but just remember it’s because they’re still living in their parent’s basement. 2. Take a vacation from real clothes Let’s be real — who are we trying to impress over Thanksgiving break? With only a few precious days to enjoy away from the pending projects, looming tests and monotonous school schedule, it’s only fitting that our wardrobes should better suit the situation. The staples of the perfect week off wardrobe would of course be sweats — optimum comfort and room for expansion. Wear some old T-shirts, because who’s going to be doing laundry over break? No one, that’s who. As far as footwear goes, slippers are obviously the best choice, since the most trekking taking place will be between the couch and the kitchen, so put the pea coat and boots away, because we’re a long way from the cute boy in biology. 1. Eat Not just the turkey, gravy and your aunt’s weird cranberry sauce. A week at home is a glorious jackpot for poor and starving college kids, so take advantage of your parents making all your meals and be thankful you’re not dusting off your last cup of Ramen. Just think of yourself as a squirrel, only you’re stuffing your face to survive the last three weeks of school and finals. Be sure to eat any and all the holiday pastries various relatives leave around your house, and get a healthy dose of your little brother’s favorite cereal. It’s not like he’s buying it, right? Crunch-a-tize me, Captain.  Add as favorites (41) | Views: 902
