It’s Thanksgiving time, which means aside from cultural debates over the historical significance of the holiday and the excessive grind to catch up on schoolwork, you can take some time to enjoy yourself. Here’s an objective list of the best things to do over break.

Spend time with your family

This one seems so simple, and yet so many people forget to do it. Family is important, and even if you don’t always see eye to eye with them, spending time with people who love you is something that should be cherished.

Spend time with your friends from high school

So you got sick of your family. Understandable. Another great way to kill some time back home is to catch up with old friends you haven’t seen in a while. Maybe one of them did something really cool this semester like worked on a Batman movie or something. Maybe one of them has a kid. Maybe one of them has two. Maybe one of them is really into an obscure psychedelic tea that’s technically legal but definitely shouldn’t be. Or maybe they’re all just the same old people they used to be but just a little bit older and a little more mature. Above all else, it’s nice to catch up with people.

Go to light up night

So you want to hang out with people but need to find some sort of excuse for something to do. If you’re in the Pittsburgh area then look no further than Light Up Night, which is being held on Saturday, November 19th. Joan Jett will be performing, which should be an unforgettable experience.

See The Moon is a Hologram at the Smiling Moose

If you do not want to go to Light Up Night but do want something to do on Saturday November 19th, then you should know that local comedy duo band The Moon is a Hologram is playing a 21+ show at the Smiling Moose on the South Side. It will no doubt be one of the greatest live performances of the decade, and you will definitely have a great time. Editor’s Note: The Moon is a Hologram is Editor-In-Chief and author of this piece Jake Dabkowski’s band.
