Your cheat sheet to your family's questions at Thanksgiving dinner, as told by Grey's Anatomy.

1. So how's the food at college?

It's great, and we totally don't eat cereal for every meal.

2. How's your new professor this semester?

The one who never gives any homework and outlines all of our exams?

3. So that means your grades are great, right?

Well...

4. How's your boyfriend?

Probably should not even touch this one.

5. What do you miss the most when you're at school?

It's totally you, Mom, and not the dog.

6. Why don't you come home more often?

Why don't you cook more often?

7. And when your weird uncle says he voted differently than you...

You have got to try to keep it civil.

8. And when that one cousin says that you're letting yourself go...

Who has time to go to the gym?

9. And when your mom tells you to be nicer to your grandma...

She needs to be nice, too!

10. When they ask how you're handling being a senior:

This one is too real.

11. So maybe you tell them this instead.

12. And then suddenly, your brother asks if anyone minds if he takes the last piece of pumpkin pie:

13. But now everyone's going home, and you're just like:

14. Except your awful cousin:

And before you know it, you've actually survived the holiday.

Until Christmas, anyway.

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
