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!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
