10 Things That Definitely Happened To You This Thanksgiving

iDigital Times

There was some hoopla with your parents about how you were getting home
1. “Are you driving? Flying? Can you leave a day early? You’re driving with who? Can you give me their mother’s number?”
The mandatory “home for the first time since college survey” taken by your relatives
1. “Did you decide on a major yet? Do you have a boyfriend/ girlfriend?” All those fun questions.
Being so excited about the classic thanksgiving recipes that you’ve been waiting all year to eat again…
…Only to find out your mom replaced it with some new trendy recipe she found on Pinterest.
Coming home to discover a good chunk of your clothes had been given to Goodwill Basically, nothing is the same and it never will be again. Welcome to adulthood.
The inevitable heated political debate between your Texas uncle and your liberal arts degree sister “You voted for WHO?!”
Seeing that friend who claims that college “has totally changed them” All it took was three months of school for them to become adult and mature
Being so full but stuffing your face anyway because of the haunting realization that this is probably the best food you’ll be eating for the next couple of weeks
Grandma’s not so subtle comments about your weight Yes, I am actually going in for thirds, so sue me.
Having the best sleep in the past couple months Really, there is no place as comforting than your childhood bedroom
