This would probably be my favorite announcement too. Thanksgiving is such a great holiday and it often gets overshadowed by Christmas. I mean, I do love Christmas but Thanksgiving is also awesome! You get to eat so much food and spend time with people in your family. I especially can’t wait to go back and bake up an apple pie. I do it every year and my family loves it.
For this week's Learning Challenge, I read an article about sleeping. The article is entitled Data Reveals How Some College Students Sleep .

In essence, the study followed the sleeping habits of college students aged from 18-22 and tracked certain conditions. One things they found was students aren't that sleep deprived. The average student in this study clocked in 7 hours and 3 minutes of rest a night. I can honestly say that this was something that was confirmed for me.

To answer to the questions from the post, I always try to give feedback every time I get the chance, because I know how much I appreciate feedback. It’s an invaluable resource and if it is handled correctly, its boundless potential. However, I feel that being constructive is very important and making sure that your criticism is wanted. For instance, if I am in the ...
