When I was younger, I didn't appreciate my family like I should have. It took me leaving home to grasp how much they mean to me. My parents live in Detroit, so they're not expecting to see me. When I get there, it will be a surprise. Many Berry students echoed Hoskins' family-based sentimentality at Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving is now much like a family reunion.
Although our age and maturity have changed our outlooks on Thanksgiving, many of us will experience the same old traditions as when we were young. Traditionally, Hoskins' family spends Thanksgiving with the typical Thanksgiving meal, followed by an afternoon in front of the television. We'll all eat turkey, and then watch college football. We just get together, eat some turkey and do the ordinary Thanksgiving thing. Also unlike our younger days, students look forward to the chance of catching up on schoolwork during Thanksgiving break.
