We all know that turkey and mashed potatoes are promised when we head home for Thanksgiving. But, there are always some unexpected things that happen to everyone when they head home for the holiday.

1. Your childhood room changed drastically.

2. You got the "wyd" text from your high school ex around 11pm on Friday night.

3. Your dog seems to have aged ten years.

4. Your lifelong best friends are all in serious relationships, therefore, leaving no time for you to catch up.

5. Your aunts began to include you in the family gossip after dinner (with lots of wine, of course.)

6. Your cousin brought home a new girlfriend and you could immediately tell that the entire family disapproved of her.

7. Your grandpa gave up on attempting to dress nice and sat in the same chair for the entire day.

8. You had a serious conversation with your dad about finances and wondered when you grew up so quickly.

9. Your siblings actually showed some sort of emotion towards your arrival back home.

10. Your mom's new diet really put her on edge.

11. All of your clothes that you left in your closet were thrown in a box that you were forced to look through or else they would be thrown out.

12. You didn't realize for almost 24 hours that your wifi password changed and you had been slowly wasting all of your data.

13. The only thing that didn't change was your uncles drinking beer and watching football for hours on end.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
