Thanksgiving was pretty cool to be honest. As a mashed potato enthusiast it is one of my favorite holidays as the mashed potatoes at thanksgiving dinners are always smacking. However, other than the dinner there is also the five day break that everyone looks forward to. While most people went home on Tuesday I ended up going home on Thursday because I didn’t really have a reason to go home until Thursday. Also I enjoyed the time alone in my dorm room. For Thanksgiving, my mom picked me up from Manhattan and we drove to Staten Island for a family friend’s party where I indulged in a lot of mashed potatoes. Throughout the night there were many fun moments with my childhood friends and most notably I beat my mom in the pool. As with most Thanksgiving parties, there are a lot of leftovers. Personally, my family left with a whole turkey and a tray of mashed potatoes, both of which my mom sent me back to college with. So now, in my dorm fridge, I have a bunch of turkey meat and a takeaway container of mashed potatoes.
Other than the actual Thanksgiving day, I had a volleyball tournament on Saturday, which I did with a bunch of friends. We got third in that. Then the very next day, I had a tournament with some of my friends from Stevens, which we actually won, which was a very happy moment for all of us.
After the very much needed break, I feel rejuvenated and very much not ready for finals. However, at least I caught up on a lot of much needed sleep. Last night, I literally slept at 10 p.m. which is the first time in many years I have slept pre 12 a.m., a trend that definitely will not continue. Not much to say after a very chill Thanksgiving break filled with many things and people I love. Until next time, toodles.
