What Has "Friends" taught us about Thanksgiving?

Reflect on some of the funniest Thanksgiving episodes with me...

What Has "Friends"  taught us about Thanksgiving?

You could argue that pretty much every episode of "Friends" has taught us something. As we approach the holiday season, it is only fitting that we take a look back on some of funniest Thanksgiving episodes. Maybe these episodes are so funny because they are a little bit true for all of us and our family's?!

Before beginning baking your holiday dessert, make sure that you are using the correct ingredients.

When your sibling doesn't have a filter, take a deep break and move on.

Face it, siblings can be a pain in the butt. This particular Thanksgiving, Rachel's sister came to town. The gang was not too thrilled because she had nothing nice to say. You can probably guess what happened by checking out the GIF below...

DON'T let anyone invite your high school enemy to Thanksgiving dinner.

You are not a true Friends fan if you don't remember the one with Brad Pitt. Drama ensues when Rachel finds out he hates her and that he spread a nasty rumor about her in high school. Long story short, make sure you know who is going to be on the guest list before they arrive.

The best kind of competition is competition with yourself.

Monica told the group that she didn't want to cook Thanksgiving dinner this year, but Phoebe convinced her to anyway. She told her that it would be like Monica was challenging herself to top all the last Thanksgiving meals. Obviously, Monica couldn't resist. We can all use a little bit of Monica's drive to do a job well done.

Playing football with your sibling is a dangerous source of sibling rivalry.

Playing a sports game with your siblings doesn't always end well. Especially if you guys are competitive. The 'Geller Cup' was something from Ross and Monica's childhood that brought up old drama, resulting in Monica and Ross going at it on the football field.

The easiest way to get a guy to say he loves you? Dance around with a raw turkey on your head.

This was a moment that goes down in history. The first time Chandler tells Monica he loves her.

Not every holiday is going to be magical.

It's okay if your Thanksgiving isn't absolutely amazing, as long as your have your family and friends surrounding you.

Sometimes you need really stretchy pants if you want to finish your meal.

Of course Joey was the one to put on maternity pants for their Thanksgiving meal. There is always that one person at the table who needs to eat everything in sight.

Hopefully, you took something away from all of these tips and tricks for a successful holiday. If you couldn't tell, I am kind of obsessed with "Friends." But...who isn't?!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
