This time next week, we will all be home prepping for that big night called Thanksgiving Eve. It is the one night when you can guarantee that you will see everyone from your high school class at the bar.
As soon as you step foot into your hometown alcohol oasis, you are instantly catapulted into a mini high school reunion ‘- prepare to answer a thousand questions from past classmates, including ones that you were never friends with’ before but somehow end up engaging in awkward, drunken conversations.
Thanksgiving Eve has the potential to be one of the best or worst nights of your five day break. Catching up with your old high school friends and getting drunk while bragging to everyone how amazing your life at Fairfield is can be a pretty good time.
But beware of the classic hometown creepers that come out of the woodwork on nights like these. You can guarantee that you will get stuck in a long and random conversation about the good old days of high school with some kid you probably only glanced at in the hallways. Practicing the ‘oh, I see my friend across the bar’ look may come in handy over break and save you from experiencing a severe buzzkill.
My advice is to get drunk, have fun with friends from home and work up a nice appetite for the feast you have awaiting you the next day. Take advantage of how happy your parents are that you’re home for a few days. It’s always nice to be taken care of and to spend quality time with your family.
So use this Thanksgiving break to eat some great food, drink some quality liquor and spend time with old friends. Soak it up while you can, but, I’m sure that by Sunday night, we will all be more than ready to go back to sandwiches from the Deli, 180s at the Grape and Fairfield Beach.
