<human>: Hello, first off thanks for reading. 

I'm currently an undergraduate student going to university 1,000+ miles from home. I only get to visit home once a year (usually)-- for Christmas break because I have a friend who drives and we split gas money. I'm trying to decide if I should go home for Thanksgiving break this year. I found a flight that would give me a 5 day visit for $380 roundtrip. I also have $140 in rewards points from my credit card that I can use towards the trip, making it around $240 total. I don't currently have this money but I could charge it to my credit card. I have other major expenses coming up and am somewhat approaching the limit on my credit card.

Reasons to say yes: I need a real break from the stress of university life. My parents recently got divorced and I know my dad is struggling and would kill to see me. I get sad spending the holidays alone since all of my friends go home. $240 is not that much when I consider spending in other areas. I didn't realize I could put my rewards points toward airfare so that savings makes me want to use it. I could surprise my family and make them so happy. I wouldn't have to miss any class days as I originally thought.

Reasons to say no: I'll be going home in December for winter break. Accruing more credit card debt as a student with significant loans seems foolish. If I approach my credit card limit, I might not have the ability to pay for emergencies in the future. Traveling is stressful and I'd be flying on Thanksgiving day. My boyfriend who is here at university with me (and is also from my hometown) would be forced to spend the holidays alone.

What do y'all think the right decision is? I'm afraid I'm too impulsive and I would like to make a wise, informed decision. Thanks in advance for any input!

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: Found a cheap flight home for Thanksgiving break but finances are tight and I'd have to charge it to my credit card, may be worth it for less practical reasons, what do I do?
