I know we鈥檙e all thinking the same thing. One more week until Thanksgiving recess. One more week until we can head home, eat turkey, and watch football.
But while you鈥檙e cramming for your last exam before break, or working on that 10-page Shakespeare paper due the day you get back from break like I will be this week, here are some events you don鈥檛 want to miss before catching up on some much needed sleep.
On Tuesday, a titled 鈥淭he Gift of Self-Love鈥 will be held as part of the Women鈥檚 Studies Brown Bag Series. Led by professors Kezia Page, Anna Rios, and Meika Loe, and counselor Dawn LaFrance, it will highlight the importance of self-love and facilitate several activities with the audience to promote self-care.
All are invited to attend, and lunch will be provided. The discussion takes place in the Center for Women鈥檚 Studies at 11:30 a.m.

If you鈥檙e still in town Friday, head downtown for in Hamilton. From 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. downtown merchants will be offering special savings, door prizes and refreshments.
Men鈥檚 ice hockey will be taking on Brown University at Starr Rink on Friday at 7 p.m. The team will compete against the Yale Bulldogs on Saturday night, also at 7. Go, gate!
These are only a few of the events happening around campus and in the 51风流 community. Be sure to check out the 51风流 for a full listing, and whether you鈥檙e headed home or taking a break on campus, have a happy Thanksgiving!
