DEFINITION The turkey dump occurs when a college or university student returns from their educational institution during the Thanksgiving holiday to break up with their significant other from high school. ^ SUPPORT For the Dumpers A lot of thoughts must be going through your head right now. You're at a new school and can't help but keep your mind wandering from your text book to the fine lookin' individual sitting next to you in Psych 101. It's no joke, colleges and universities harbour some of the finest looking young people around and your thoughts are quite normal. This is a time for new experiences, experimentation and freedom. It may feel as though you're missing out on this "best time of your life" if you are to continue in your current relationship with that special someone back home. It is important to remember however, that your guy or girl back home may not transmit "herpes", "scabies" or "gonorrhea". Not to say those at your current institution do, but it's always important to be careful and remember what you learned in health class. What it really boils down to is the state of your current relationship (and relations), your desire to live a life of excitement and your ultimate goal. If the significant other at home is one you may contemplate marriage with one day, perhaps you should reconsider your position and shift your goal. If you've been treated poorly, perhaps it's time to move on and experience what college and university life has to offer. Whatever decision you decide to make, make it this coming thanksgiving and save yourself a hassle-free school year. After all, you'll need some time to get to know that cute, curious person down the hall in your residence. Good luck and be safe! ^ For the Dumpees If you're reading this you've most likely just had your heart broken. Sometimes it's hard to understand people. Just when you think you've figured out how to make the long distance thing work between two cities (or provinces/states), your special someone decides that they should heave your heart down a spiral staircase. You know what? That bag of douche aint worth it. You need to take a look in the mirror and see what they'll be missing out on. You're a special person with a great deal to offer. You're far too good for some shallow, "go nowhere" individual chasing scattered ass across the campus of their new school. It is important to realize that someone who will break up on a whim at their first opportunity is not relationship material. If a simple change in location trivializes your being together, do you really think it wouldn't happen sometime down the road anyhow? Start seeking a decent human being and ignore what this sap didn't have to offer. You have plenty of opportunity where you are as well! Start searching for a new special someone who will treat you right! A good place to start might be friendfinder, lavalife, or any other number of online dating sites. If peoples best pictures of themselves don't do it for ya, perhaps joining some sort of volunteer group or after school club may allow you the opportunity of meeting some exciting new people. Just remember that you aren't alone. Plenty of people are in your shoes this year and are dealing with the same issues. There are plenty of fish in the sea and you can do better. Below are some user-submitted stories you may benefit from. So sorry top hear about your loss and may cupid treat you right in the coming months! ^ STORIES Yo! fat props to the turkey dump. last year I broke it off with my girl sarah back home in Toronto because she was too caught up with her own **** after I moved to Windsor. I had no reason to stay with her because she made no effort and there were many other girls in windsor who showed interest after I moved into my new residence. She was pretty upset at the time, but we've still kept talking since the break up last year. PropS! peace out. -Drew submitted by Andrew on August 6, 2006 I was the victim of a Turkey Dump three years ago on Thanksgiving. My boyfriend and I met in grade 11 at Abraxas Continuation and had been together for the remainder of high school. Following our graduation, he was accepted to Juilliard in New York and I stayed home to work for a year back home in California. As soon as he returned to visit on Thanksgiving, he told me that he thought things might be better if we "split up" and saw other people. Obviously things didn't work out and I haven't talked to him since with the exception of an e-mail or two. The last time we spoke he was living in New York with some girl he met at school. I've since moved on as well and have started dating again recently. submitted by Alyssa on August 23, 2006 This guy from my high school broke up with his girlfriend after first year because he wanted to "sew his wild oats". I think he thought that going to university would get him laid, but in fact he ended up working construction or something and not going to school at all. She moved on and started dating someone and was alright with it. I think it was a long time coming and it worked out for the best. submitted by Nirav on September 16, 2006 If you would like your Turkey Dump story posted on our page, please submit to: turkeydump@turkeydump.com.
