15 Things That Are Guaranteed to Happen This Thanksgiving Break

How the next few days are going to look for you and the rest of us worn out college kids.

1. The idea of Thanksgiving break is appealing.

You get to go home for a few days and the promise of a feast has been getting you through these last few days of Ramen and drinking fountain water.

2. Wednesday classes are long and pointless.

Some schools give the week of Thanksgiving which is a beacon of light in your bum life. But most schools adhere to the three day class week, which is dumb because lets face it by Wednesday your doodling in your notebook and checking Buzzfeed while your professor lectures. They know you're not paying attention and frankly they don't want to be in either.


3. At least one professor will be a Thanksgiving hater and assign homework.

^This guy.. We hate you.


4. You will inevitably forget to pack something to go home.

Laptop, phone charger, acne cream? You were just too excited to get home, this is what stores are for.


5. Your parents will make you help set up or get ready for the festivities.

It's like they wait until the last minute just so they can make you bring down six extra chairs from the attic or vacuum the stairs.

6. You will have to put up with all of the questions from nosy family members.

So what if you're a two year super senior, its none of their business.

7. Thanksgiving dinner will last about 35 minutes and then you will be forced to help put away leftovers and clean dishes.

Just do it and smile at the fact that you don't have to eat frozen Lean Cuisines for three more days.


8. You'll spend the next three days sleeping off school, upcoming exams, and turkey comas.

You deserve this. It's been a hard semester.

9. And the next three nights drinking with the people you graduated high school with.

Everybody comes home for Thanksgiving take advantage of that time together by embarking on a three day Beer pong and Flippy cup tournament.


10. Your parents will start to get on your nerves by Saturday.

At college there are no rules for you. You don't have to make your bed or even get out of it. Don't worry Sunday is approaching fast.

11. Your mother will do all of your laundry and make turkey slop.

And suddenly you forget about having to make your bed for a few days.

12. You'll forget you have homework until about 5:30 Sunday evening.

You either don't do it or pull an all- nighter. Thanks for nothing Professor. Jackass.

13. Your mother will send you packing with a pile of leftovers.

You rejoice in the upcoming days of free food.


14. You'll leave way to late.

Oh it's 7? I should probably leave to partake in my four hour voyage home.

15. You realize Thanksgiving is a cruel joke.

Four grueling weeks left of the semester. Time to start planning for exams and group projects galore. Thanks for teasing me Thanksgiving, you beautiful bitch.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
