I’m going home for Thanksgiving and don’t know what to expect?

Well, things at home will probably not be too much different than when you left. What will be different is YOU! Your family may expect the old you and when the nearly-one-semester-older you comes in they may not know what hit them. Respect the rules of your parent’s home even if they are different that what you have been used to living in the Residence Halls. Tell them all the details of what has been happening to you. Expect things to be a bit odd and discuss things that might cause a problem like curfew or changed ideas.
