This was the first time I would be going home and seeing all of my other college friends who were also home. I couldn’t wait to see who has changed and how college was treating everyone. I was looking forward to doing nothing but eat, sleep, shop, and hang out with friends and family. The first thing I did when I got home was go to my favorite restaurant—Glory Days Grill.

Something fun that happened on this night was that we went to see a move in theaters—all fifteen of my family members. It was hysterical. On Saturday of thanksgiving break, I traveled to Charlottesville for the UVA vs. Virginia Tech football game. I was such a good time and was really nice to see all of the college students tailgating with their whole family. It was a huge reunion between a lot of families in the Oakton area. On top of it all, Virginia Tech won! One week had flown by and as Sunday came around it was time to leave. I said my goodbyes and headed back to Virginia Tech around one with my roommate, McKenzie. We were cruising down I-66 but as we got to be five miles from I-81 South, we hit stand still traffic. Additionally, it was foggy and rainy. There were accidents on every major highway. It usually takes us four hours to get back to Blacksburg, but this time it took of eight. It was one of the most painful car trips of my life, especially since I was the

Dr. Meyers, Hello! I hope your Thanksgiving was rejuvenating and enjoyable with family and friends. This is Angelia (Angel) Hirsch from the summer practicum course through Liberty University.

I enjoyed thinking about my future and discovering new bands and indie movies. My new life, with little to no friends, had transitioned from utterly depressing to undoubtedly bright. I propelled through their ignorance and tried out for the jazz band and the varsity baseball team. I made both of them and continued on my path for self-improvement and self-discovery. I had a great baseball season in which I made 2nd team all division and helped our team win sectionals.
