I hope that you all enjoyed a lovely weekend 😀 However,  if you’re anything like me, your just disappointed in yourself for consciously procrastinating all of the schoolwork that had to be done. But do not fret loyal readers, this coming Thursday is…wait for it… Thanksgiving!!!Image result for thanksgiving

It has arrived just in time to provide us Brooklyn College students a much needed break from this semester. After spending endless hours studying for one class and writing papers for another, it feels nice to have one day dedicated to experiencing a food coma with the family. Holidays are a necessary grounding force that recharge us from a hectic and unceasing reality. I am wishing you all the best in enjoying Thanksgiving with your family and friends.

In the meantime, here is some information about Brooklyn College events happening this week:
