For many, the middle of the semester can get stressful and as Thanksgiving break rolls around we're jumping at the opportunity to recharge.

Thanksgiving break is our chance to return home to some good food, but while we look forward to escaping papers and exams there are certain situations you can't avoid when every single family member is thrown into one room.

The list below describes the few unavoidable moments we face on Thanksgiving.

1. Mom preparing the house for company.

If Mom isn't happy, no one is. If you can't clean it you might as well say "screw it" because all hope is gone.

2. Socializing with the one relative no one can stand.

There is always that ONE family member......

3. Food coma.

GET YOUR STRETCHY PANTS READY because there will be endless amounts of food coming your way!

4. Family shenanigans.

Whether it's your cousins or your crazy uncle, someone is always up to no good when it comes to holidays.

5. Dealing with annoying questions.


"How's school going?" "Oh, you know..."

"How's your social life?!" "Good.."

"What are you doing here?!!?" "I CAME TO EAT FOOD STOP QUESTIONING ME!"


No matter your situation, holiday breaks always fly by quicker than we realize and we don't have to deal with these things again until the next family reunion.

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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

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.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
