I have always wondered why people make such a big fuss over the holidays. Often, as you get older, the holidays become less of a time for relaxation, and more of a time for added work to an already busy schedule.
For me, I am looking forward to going home for the holidays simply because I don't have to do my own laundry, I can get out of the dorms, and return home to less responsibility. However, as I sit in the airport and examine those around me, I see countless families hurrying their children through the terminal. Their eyes and faces show the added stress that they are encountering. As I am headed home, I hope to get away from the stress that college brings, but I never know what surprises are truly waiting for me until the plane lands on the tarmac in Orange County.
So to all those who are traveling this holiday season, good luck and try to keep your heads on straight. For those staying home try to enjoy a sense of relation. Happy Thanksgiving!
