A masters student researching how people prepare for the inevitable is looking for university students facing the "turkey dump" this weekend, when their high school romance ends during the first trip home for the holidays.

Getting "a kick in the giblets" over Canadian Thanksgiving from your high school sweetie after you start university seems to be quite common and a University of Guelph student was to incorporate the phenomenon into his master degree in social psychology. He wants 100 first year students to volunteer for his study.
