WHY COLLEGE STUDENTS
LIKE THANKSGIVING BREAK
* You know that your turkey is a Butterball
rather than a Grade E yet semi-edible fur ball.
* Your mother will not be serving your
mashed potatoes and stuffing with an ice cream scooper.
* Pumpkin pie is a great alternative to
green jello.
* After your eighth glass of cider, your
emergency dash to the bathroom will not be delayed by having to line the seat with toilet
paper.
* Clean underwear, comfortable bed, access
to a car, bedroom larger than a 12x14 cell...Even if it is for only four days.
* To eat your meals, the only trek you'll
have to make is from the couch to the kitchen, rather than the dorm to the dining hall in
below freezing weather.
* Instead of listening to "When I
first started teaching here..." you can be entertained by "When your mother was
your age..." and "during the Depression we weren't lucky enough to have Brussels
sprouts. Hell, all we could afford was the sprout!"
* You can eat your corn steamed with butter
rather than popped in your microwave.
* You know the hair in the shower drain is
your own.
* You won't be eating your Thanksgiving
meal off a tray!
