Celebrating Thanksgiving as an international student

By Matt Stephenson–

It’s hard to believe that the semester is almost over and Thanksgiving is upon us. Many students are already starting to stress about finals, but before the real cramming can start most students go home to their families to celebrate.

But what do you do during these five days if you are not an American? In most cases internationals live too far away to go home for just five days.

In Canada, we celebrate Thanksgiving much earlier on the second Monday of October. No, we don’t have the stories of the Pilgrims and the Indians.
