1. The guy who never gave you the time of day in high school but now all of the sudden wants to buy you shots and “hang out” later

2. The Ex-Mormon

3. The first gay guy you made out with

4. The girl who was supposedly in your English class and remembers your name but you can't remember her's.

5. The dude who was really good at football but isn't anymore.

6.The girl who's name is either Britney/Tiffany/or Amber who was always a giant bitch in high school but seems kinda nice now.

7. The chubby, nerdy guy from your chem course who looks like a GQ model now.

8. The friends who were in all the school musicals who urge you to do Karaoke with them.

9. The girl who was valedictorian and homecoming queen that you want to hate but she is too damn nice which makes you hate her even more.

10. The guy who was everyone's weed dealer and is now either an insurance agent or realtor.

11. Your original squad.

Have fun this Thanksgiving weekend and be grateful that high school is over!

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

1. When you have to provide an "interesting fact" for your first day ice-breaker.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

4. When it's 2 AM and you remember you have a test tomorrow.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.

10. When you're assigned a group project.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.

12. When it's your last class of the day and you're about to go home.

13. But then you remember rent is due tonight and the anger comes back.
