" Hello everyone! Most college students are heading home this weekend for Thanksgiving. Sadly, I have to stay in New York City and work, but I was lucky enough to go home the first weekend of November\u2014and it was awesome! At the beginning of October, my mom surprised me with tickets to fly back home on the 31 and stay through November 4. I was really pumped and it felt like the month of October dragged on. Finally, October 31 came and I boarded a plane to Colorado! My mom picked me up from the airport and it was so great to see her after three months because my mom is one of my best friends. My close friend Shae came over to my Mom&amp;#039;s apartment as soon as I got there and we had a intense reunion (picture lots of screaming, jumping around, and hugging). Since it was Halloween, Shae and I got dressed up to go out for the night and I met up with a lot of my old friends.  The rest of my weekend at home was just as fun as my first night. I saw a ton of old friends, some old teachers, and got to spend some quality time with my family. I even went to my mom&amp;#039;s third grade class and talked to them about what it&amp;#039;s like to be a blogger for Seventeen! My time at home wouldn&amp;#039;t have been as enjoyable as it was if I hadn&amp;#039;t made a schedule for that weekend. Obviously, I didn&amp;#039;t plan every little thing out, but I did make a list of everything I absolutely needed to do while I was home and scheduled it out. That way, I was actually able to do everything I wanted and more, instead of scrambling around with a million plans! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
