<human>: Hi! So I live in NJ and was accepted to and will be attending college in Colorado.  I'm the first in my family to attend college more than 3 hours away.  

Anyhow, my family is pretty close-knit and we always do a big thanksgiving dinner.  It's only become more precious over the years because everyone is getting older (I'm the youngest in my family) and soon everybody will be moving away/starting families/whatever old people do.  I guess I'd like to come home, but only if it makes sense.  

I looked up when my break starts and they combined it with fall break, so it's 8 days.  However, my month long winter break then happens in a little over 3 weeks.  It'd be a bit much, you know? Fly home, fly back, fly home, all in the course of around a month?

Summarize the given text in a few sentences.
<bot>: Should I fly home (from CO to NJ) for my 8 day fall break or just stay at school and hope I make a friend who'll take me in for a day or two and go home for christmas only?
