I know that we are just now approaching Halloween, but I for one cannot wait to go home for Thanksgiving. It's about a month away but it's defintely something that i am looking foward to. Going home for this holiday is just awesome. It's the first real tme to kind of spend with your family because usually if you go home for a random weekend it is for a specific reason like work, seeing old friends, or for some other reason. But this is the real chance to actually sit down with your family and have a nice dinner.
That is definitely the second best thing about this break, all of the amazingggg food! You always know that when you go home, your mom is going to make you your favorite meal, but now you basically get double that in one giant feast. After you eat dinner at 2 or 3( I still never understood why thanksgiving dinner was eaten at lunch time?) you go into the living sit down and watch some football. Classic American style day. Of course you are usually to hung over from the previous nights' festivities...a.k.a. the biggest going-out night of the year! Besides that there is so much reunion time with family members. I for one have a huge family and there are always so many of us that we need to catch up on what everyone has been up to.
It is always good to see all of my cousins that have moved away that come back to visit. Most of them usuzlly only come back for christmas but some come back for Thanksgiving.
Going back to the food topic, I love spending the time helping my mom make all of her dishes. It's some good bonding time even though it can get pretty chaotic. I also have the tradition of me always making an apple pie, so I have to work on that as well. Also knowing that christams break is just 2 weeks after we come back from break, which is kind of annoying and a tease but its still great. It sucks that the end of the semester comes so soon, especially since the month we have off for xmas tends to get semi-boring after awhile.
Well anyways

Legalize it
I know that I am just one of the many people who believe that marijuana should be legalized. Not only would it boost our economy but it would just be really awesome. It is already legal for people to smoke it if they have glaucoma, and some types of cancer, so why not make it legal for everyone else? I think one main reason why people don't want it to be legal is because they don't want their kids/family members doing it even more than they most likely already do.
Another reason why this movement should happen is that, it would definitely cut down on the costs of imprisoning people caught with weed, and the tax put on it would help. I recently got a text telling me to call the number that was in the text. So I called it and a recording came on saying that this phone call is to help support Obama's idea of legalizing marijuana. It went on to say how it would boost our economy by having a tax put on it as if it were alcohol. To make my vote count i had to press a couple certain buttons. The recording came back on saying thank you for supporting this movement or whatever. I then fowarded the text to several different people. This definitely helps to spread the word on this topic and see what other people have to say.
Although a lot of these kinds of text messages are just those stupid chain messages, i'm pretty sure that this was legit. i guess there really is no way to tell unless in one of Obama's next speeches he talks about this particular form of advertisement.
So I think marijuana should be legalized not just to make those who smoke it happy, but also to make the economy better in our times of trouble.

Home for Break
Going home for a break from school is so great. Dont get me wrong i absolutely loveeee being at school but going home for 3 days is so great. The only think that sucks is the week of classes leading up to this break. Its the most stressful thing, because all you want to do is leave and go home as fast as you possibly can. And of course you get one of those classes that you absolutely have to stay for(mostly because you have already used up all of your absences so you have to stay). haha But in all seriousness that is the main reason why everyone stays so long when they dont want to.
Then of course the're are the die-hard c.staters that just hate leaving school. So as a result they stay while everyone is home. Living off campus this is easier to do because a lot of the dorms close and you kind of have to leave. Only about half of my friends are actually going home, most of them are staying here because they are going home next weekend? Weird idkk but i'm definitely happy to get out of that little secluded town i usually call home. of course i may go back to school on saturday to keep a good weekend going but who knows.
It's also good to go home on breaks because a bunch of other schools also are on break. Some of my friends from Brockport are coming home and various other schools. Its a good wya to catch up with everyone. Especially since Thanksgiving isnt for another month or so, but then right after that is christmas break but its still great....Have a good break!!

Friends
I know a lot of people have already blogged about this but the friends that you make in your college career will stay with you forever. I remember first semester freshman year, when everyone in your res. hall would go out in one huge group. all the upperclassmen could tell right away that you were a new freshman. Semi-embarassing but still such a great time.
The friends i made that year are still my best friends and they will be for the rest of my life. I couldnt tell you how close we are. After becoming friends we then joined the same sorority and it has been even better since then. It's really weird to say this but i know that the best friends that i have made here will be in my wedding. I mean nothing can compare to my best friends at home either, but im with the people at school for about 8 months out of the year. And im only with my friends at home for the other 4. I dont think we realize how much time we really do spend at college. its weird to think that we spend so much time with these people that we are only really going to be spending around 4 yrs with. After college, do you really stay close with these friends? I think yes just because these friendships will hopefully never diminish.

Halloween
Now that October has arrived, the first thing on everyone's mind is Halloween! It's a great holiday where you can get mass amounts of candy and the ability to dress as rediculous as possible and not get judged. The most important thing to think about is your costume.
As for a costume, many people like to have a group of people to dress as one thing. For example I know people that have dressed up as Baywatch girls, Homewreckers, and also members of Legends of the Hidden Temple. These are all very clever ways of dressing up. A more common way for girls especially to dress up, is as something that is very, how should i say it, yeahh slutty. This is because guys know that girls are going to dress in this manner. Girls know that they can dress this way because everyone else is.
If it was a random weekend night out at Dark Horse and a girl walks in wearing something very revealing, people might just stare and give her weird looks. But on Halloween it's totally normal for this kind of stuff.
Also when i think of Halloween i think of trick-or-treating. I think once you get passed a certain age like 16 or 17, its not really acceptable. I am 20 and i would loveee to go trick-or-treating still. It was always so much fun just running around to different houses in your neighborhood begging for the best and most candy. Although usually the weather was terrible. Let's face it, central New York definitely doesn't haev the best weather during October. Anyways, after you got home, you and your friends or your siblings would dump your pillow cases out and count to see who had the most candy. Of course trading candy would happen, and you might have to give some to your parents(usually the candy you didn't like).
This is also the season to be watching scary movies, or my favorite the 13 days of Halloween on ABC family. They out together by far the best kids halloween movies ever. Mainly Hocus Pocus, or the typical Olsen Twins movies. All are classics. So as far as this wonderful holiday goes, I can't wait! It shall be interesting this year...
