Thanksgiving is coming soon and while you're thinking of that delicious pumpkin pie your dad is going to bake, its also time to think of all those wonderful people in your life that you can't live without! So get out your guest list and make sure these 11 people are on it:

1. Your parents.

Because no matter how old you are, they can still solve any problem.

2. The best friend you can call whenever.

Even after months apart you can pick up right where you left off.

3. Your support system.

Be it at work, home, or all over the country, they've helped you through life's toughest moments.

4. The people in your life who have been stand-in mothers and fathers whenever you've needed them to be.

No matter if its that headstrong older co worker after your boss yells at you, or if its the teacher that gave you advice after a heartbreak.

5. Sisters who you can roll with during any dilemma.

By, personal or professional, and you always get answers that keep you grounded and grant perspective.

6. Your mother-in-law.

For better or for worse, she's raised the person you love, so be thankful.

7. Your grand parents.

They loved you like a parent but never grounded you. they're perfect

8. Your next door neighbor

Because who else will be there when you've forgot that essential ingredient to your perfect homemade cake.

9. Your significant other.

No matter what, they love you for better or for worse and in sickness and in health.

10. Your pet.

What other adorable thing are you supposed to cuddle while you're binge watching the latest season of House of Cards?

11. Your Aunts/Uncles

Because they know what its like to grow up with your parents and they've got your back when you need to blow off some steam after your mom yells at you for forgetting to pick up your clothes.

No matter how crazy any of these people drive you, they are the ones who will be there for you and love you no matter what. Even if you did post that unflattering picture of them that you look good in on Facebook!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
