Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Find out who else plans to stay on campus for Thanksgiving.
Step2
Follow any steps required by your college to stay on campus during the break.
Step3
Check out your dining options for Thanksgiving Day. Some colleges provide an early afternoon turkey-with-all-the-trimmings meal and a boxed dinner for the evening.
Step4
Discuss whether to cook and eat Thanksgiving dinner at the dorm, go to a nearby restaurant, get takeout or eat at the dining hall.
Step5
Decorate your room and dorm common areas. If the dorm feels homey and festive, it can ease any holiday homesickness.
Step6
If you are cooking or having takeout, set a budget and divide the work, including shopping and cleanup.
Step7
Enjoy the holiday and the break in routine. Explore the quieter campus and town, try something new or revisit favorite hobbies and pastimes. Catch up on sleep, homework or laundry, see a movie or read a book for fun instead of a grade.
