Thanksgiving break: It is time to take the entire week off

Thanksgiving break is a period off from college for students in the United States to celebrate the holiday Thanksgiving, which is always celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. 

The break is usually a three-to-five day break, giving students the opportunity to travel if they need to. Mainly it’s just a time to be around family and to rest from the fall school year and to reflect and enjoy company with your family without the worry of school. But for some, it can also be a gateway to help study for upcoming finals and a chance to catch up on missing work.

For workers, it’s a holiday: for time to take off, so they can spend time with their family, Again many people use that advantage to travel and see family.  

During this break, it is to take a time away from work and school, but mainly it’s about a time to be thankful and to reflect and spend time with your loved ones.  

For college students, Thanksgiving doesn’t really provide much of a break. It’s a time to reflect and to be with your loved ones, but it is also a gateway to where you might have to study for upcoming finals Students like me use Thanksgiving break to study and get missing work done. 

This coming Thanksgiving break here at Butler Community College we have classes Monday and Tuesday. This is not necessary just because break for us starts on Wednesday, Nov. 25 and Thanksgiving is Thursday, Nov. 27, so there isn't a lot of time to prepare for Thanksgiving, especially if you’re a student that lives far from Butler. For students, this may feel like a bit of a rush. The college should give students and employees the entire week off for Thanksgiving.  

This break can give students time to reset and reflect, complete missing work and spend the time cooking with our family.  

Also, Thanksgiving is such a short time for students, as it doesn’t give us enough time to decompress when returning to campus on Monday, Dec. 1. Normally when students return from a break, it’s like a reset from Thanksgiving break. Upon returning to campus on Monday, students will feel overwhelmed with Canvas notifications of upcoming assignments, so Butler, do away with the classes for the entire week instead.

感恩节假期是美国学生从大学放假来庆祝感恩节的一段时间，通常在11月的第四个星期四庆祝。

假期通常是三到五天，如果需要的话，学生们有机会去旅行。主要是和家人在一起，从秋季学年中休息一下，反思和享受与家人在一起的时光，而不用担心学校。但对一些人来说，它也可以帮助他们为即将到来的期末考试做准备，并有机会补上落下的功课。

对于上班族来说，这是一个假期：有时间休息，这样他们就可以和家人在一起了。很多人也利用这个优势去旅行和家人团聚。

在这段休息时间里，你可以暂时离开工作和学校，但主要是用来感恩、反思和与你所爱的人共度时光的。

对于大学生来说，感恩节并没有提供太多的休息时间。这是一个反思和与你爱的人在一起的时间，但这也是一个你可能不得不为即将到来的期末考试而学习的门户。像我这样的学生利用感恩节假期来学习和完成遗漏的工作。

在巴特勒社区学院即将到来的感恩节假期里，我们周一和周二都有课。这不是必要的，因为我们的假期从11月25日星期三开始，感恩节是11月27日星期四，所以没有太多的时间来准备感恩节，特别是如果你是一个住得离巴特勒很远的学生。对于学生来说，这可能有点匆忙。大学应该给学生和员工整整一周的感恩节假期。

这个休息时间可以给学生们时间来调整和反思，完成遗漏的工作，花时间和家人一起做饭。

此外，感恩节对学生来说是如此短暂的时间，因为在12月1日星期一返回校园时，我们没有足够的时间来减压。通常，当学生放假回来时，就像感恩节假期后的重置一样。周一回到校园后，学生们会对Canvas上即将到来的作业通知感到不知所措，所以巴特勒把整个星期的课程都取消了。
