Thanksgiving is upon us, and it is a time of celebration. It is a moment to reunite with family and friends and be reminded of all the little (or big) things that we are grateful for. If you are an international student who cannot go home during these days, or you are just staying on campus, here are a list of activities, times, and places to keep you busy during this off-time.
- SeaWorld Trip: The Campus Activities Board (CAB) is inviting all undergraduate students to join them for a trip to SeaWorld. This trip will take place Nov. 23 from 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. at the latest. During this trip, you will have the opportunity to enjoy attractions such as Infinity Falls or even Krakenif you are a fan of adrenaline. It will be a perfect time to enjoy with friends, make new ones, and take a break from school assignments. More information will be given on the CAB Instagram page @Saintleocab.
- Jazz Under The Starz: Are you a jazz connoisseur? Or a jazz fan? If the answer is yes, then this event will be perfect for you.

They will even serve homemade entrees and cold brews. You will be eating good food while listening to good music.
- Small Business Saturday Unity Festival: Small businesses produce wonderful products and service, but most of the time, they lack exposure. This festival allows you to support and help small businesses. It also gives them exposure and a chance for people to appreciate what they do. This festival gives you plenty of choices from apparel to jewelry, face painting, and much more. Join more than 150 small businesses on Saturday, November 27th, from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. at 1924 E Comanche Ave in Tampa.

This golf exhibition will take place at Lake Jovita in Wesley Chapel from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
- Fresh Market at Wiregrass: Are you a health-conscious individual about your nutrition? Do you prefer eat locally grown products? Or do you just want to take a break from grocery in Walmart? This event is made for you. Every first and third Saturday of each month, a fresh market is held at Wiregrass in Wesley Chapel.
