Technically, our break is listed on the calendar as being from November 21-25, but if you include the weekends, it's from the evening of November 18-28, so I just call it ten days for convenience's sake. But we also haven't had any other breaks at all yet and we started in mid-August.My vote would be to take a break and go see your family. Really.
Time spent not studying is an investment in time spent studying. And your mental health.
You'll be able to study more effectively when your spirits have been boosted.
Also - you get 10 days for Thanksgiving break?? Holy cow!
Maybe only go home for half of that time? Ten days is a lot of time. That way you can see your family for several days, do the holiday thing, but still get in some quality studying time?
Haha. Derp, I guess that would be the obvious solution, wouldn't it? Didn't even cross my mind (gaaah I'm such a mess right now). That's most likely what I'll end up doing.
Studying at home is a hard thing to do. If you're really dead set on studying over break, go home and set aside an hour or two each day to cover stuff. Go to your local library if your family is too distracting, but don't deprive yourself of the break.
I think you will find that going home could potentially do wonders to your mental health. At this point you need a break and staying at school for 10 days will probably just make you more miserable.

It was really cool, our specimens were just frozen and not preserved so it was kind of like doing a necropsy. I feel like I would have gotten more out of it if I knew how to suture at all and could practice that, but it was still neat to compare the organs to the dog. I'm glad I don't have plans the rest of the day, because I feel like I smell like death.
That's lame.So jealous of the longer Thanksgiving breaks, we have class until noon the day before and I have a 9+ hour trip home
We get a whole week off and I cannot wait! Also yesterday was our last test before break (it was a doozy, I don't wanna think about it anymore...), so I have the next week to kinda chill and hopefully catch up on things.

That's awful!
I would like to lie and say this will be the last..... but instead I'll say you get better at getting back up.
Dude. Earning money is never shooting yourself in the foot.
That's what I just did, I say go for it!
Our anatomy professor bought a bunch of Lego kits (like 50+) so we can have Lego nights throughout the semester. Our first one is tomorrow night. Not only is this the most amazing idea I have ever heard, but he is so excited about it, it is the most precious thing. Like my heart can't even hold the joy I felt when he was showing us all the stuff he had bought. This time tomorrow I'll be busy building a Lego TIE fighter
I have time to play with Legos and go see Fantastic Beasts tomorrow, but I have to make up for that by studying my butt off the rest of the week! Plus trying to catch up on my nanowrimo word count
We zoomed through today's assignment and were all too tired and burnt out to review the material after that. I'll have a lot of catching up to do after Thanksgiving break, but oh well! I just have one two-hour class tomorrow afternoon, and then Saturday I'm going HOME! 
but if you want the link, let me know.
Will your IT department at the school check it out for you? Ours would often fix computers for free if possible. I know they might not be able to fix it, but they might be able to recover files for you.
Love Enya for focusing!
Add some Sarah Mclachlan you won't regret it.
I think someone might need a potato intervention. A tatervention, if you will.
