7 Relatives That You WILL See At Thanksgiving This Year
20th Century Fox

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, people are hurriedly preparing for the holiday season. People are traveling across the country to be with their family and friends and celebrating with fellowship and reasons why they're thankful. There's nothing like having your entire family together...sometimes. Even though I'm thankful for my family, it can get crazy sometimes — especially on Thanksgiving. And if you have a big family with several relatives that come over, then you will know all about the 7 Relatives That You Will See At Thanksgiving This Year:

1. The Napper

The Napper is a Thanksgiving fanatic. These people are the first ones to fall asleep, and they're probably asleep in the recliner while everyone is still eating. They live to eat and sleep. The Napper is most likely your grandpa, uncle, or dad.

2. The Second Helper

First of all, the Second Helper NEVER shares their food. Actually, they're already getting seconds before some people have had firsts yet. You can usually find the Second Helpers sneaking food during the prayer, or they eat off other people's plates who don't finish.

"Food is important." — The Second Helper

3. The Football Watcher

Ah, the Football Watcher. This person usually stays glued to the game during the whole day, and if you ask him/her to do something, you probably won't get a response because they're in a whole other world.

4. The Dieter

The Dieter is someone who is "on a diet" during Thanksgiving. They take in really small portions, and they're all about killing the calories and carbs. However, some dieters have been prone to sneaking foods to eat for later. Don't let the diet talk fool you, they eat tons of thanksgiving leftovers when no one's around.

5. The Gossiper

MHMMM. YEP. You know who you is. Usually, the Gossiper is the aunt or grandma of the family. You know they're gonna show up, and as soon as you see them, this is how the conversation goes:

"I'm not trying to gossip, but..." "It's none of my business, but..." "I'm not trying to be rude, but..."

Yeah, we ALL have that family member.

6. The Pregnant One

There's always gonna be The Pregnant One in the family. This person always announces that they're pregnant at a big get together with family. And every time they do, there's an awkward moment of silence because no one finds it surprising. They're also the ones with the kids running around everywhere, and their kids also are the ones crying during the prayer.

7. The Vegan Hipster

The Vegan Hipster is always the person who shows up late to the dinner because they had to stop and bring their hipster tofu because they simply don't eat "that."

No matter who you are from the list, enjoy your family this Thanksgiving and the next one and the next one, even the crazy ones. Happy Thanksgiving!

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.
