Since Halloween is officially over, students are now looking forward to the Thanksgiving holiday that is from November 24 through the 30. When Thanksgiving is mentioned, the first thought that pops into someone’s mind is food. However, not everyone has their mind on the feast. Spending time with family and close friends is also a very popular trend.

“When I hear Thanksgiving, giving grace and spending quality time with my loved ones is what I imagine,” senior Gissela Ruiz said.

This time of year is special and very helpful for students who have struggled throughout the year. With the week off, students will have time to recharge and prepare their minds for the upcoming final exams.

“It will help me to have time to rejuvenate my mind so i am not overwhelmed,” freshmen Alex Wood said.

There are many different ways of celebrating Thanksgiving but the food is a very important factor, including the desserts and family gatherings, that bring peace and love to one’s soul.

“I think it would give me time to study, but can be negative as well because food will distract me,” junior Sarah Mendoza said.

There are ONLY 18 more days until thanksgiving break!
