Ah, Thanksgiving. What a wonderful holiday for a guy. It is a day where we have an excuse to be lazy and sit on the couch, drinking beer and eating our faces off. I don’t think you can get more masculine or American than that.
But Thanksgiving is known for mainly one thing and that is football. With three games during the day, it’s a male’s fantasy. Granted, Detroit doesn’t have Barry anymore and the Lions are awful. Emmitt and Neon Deion are not walking through that door down in big Dallas, but let’s be real, it’s football. I truly do not care who’s playing. You could put the two worst looking powder puff teams on national television and I’m pretty sure 95 percent of guys would still enjoy it.
This is also a time when most of us go back home for the first time since the summer. For you freshmen, you will soon learn that the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is typically a huge booze fest with all your high school friends. It’s a great time to reminisce about the past and tell exaggerated stories to one up your buddies, such as how you and your roommate ran from Public Safety on your first night and avoided being written up. Or it can be my personal favorite: stating how you been written up already five times and you haven’t got in any serious trouble yet. Both stories are bull and no one ever believes them, so don’t be that guy.
It is a great time at school as well. This is time when the freshmen girls realize that their boyfriends from home are really just wasting their lives still living in their parent’s houses and doing nothing with their lives, so they finally dump them. Now that game you been spitting for the past few weeks may finally work. And the best part is, with only a few weeks until winter break, you’ll be able to get some tail and not really have to worry about a commitment until you get back. You get the best of both worlds.
Now guys, remember there are only a few weeks left in the semester, so it is time to go big or go home. Drink your face off and enjoy yourself.
Before you know it, you’ll be trying to find a job and wishing you could have those four years back.
