The 11 Phases Of Being A College Student Home For Thanksgiving

We all love thanksgiving. It's a way to get together with family when you're just coming back from college, a way to finally relax from all the school work, and a way to eat, let's just say, real home-cooked food. We all know those phases that we go through.. let's just put them out there.

1. The "Midterms need to be over so I can come home and eat that damn turkey" Phase.

It's just about that time. Midterms are coming to an end, and that last one just makes you want to jump off the nearest cliff.

2. The "I'm ready to come home" Phase.

The moment midterms are over, the moment you leave to go home, you're ready for that damn turkey!


3. The "It's time to eat" Phase.


Forget about anything else, you're ready to dive on in!

4. The "Grandma tries to give thanks" Phase.

We all have that family member, who just doesn't eat right away. They must say every little thing of why Thanksgiving is the best holiday and how we should appreciate it. We get it. Now let's eat!


5. The "Stuff your face" Phase.


Your family looks at you like you haven't eaten for 20 years.


6. The "You ate so much, you feel like a stuffed turkey" Phase.


We've all been there. You have to un-buckle your pants and sit there for a few minutes, while your breath becomes thick and heavy, and you actually feel as if you were the stuffed turkey on the table.


7. The "Oh no, the desert is ready" Phase.

The moment we've all been waiting for, ladies and gentlemen! Just after you thought you couldn't eat the entire table, there is more. Something none of us can resist.


8. The "Food Coma" Phase.

This is never a good moment in history, but it was well worth it!


9. The "Realization that you have school after this" Phase.

Someone just had to mention the word "school," didn't they?


10. The "Thanksgiving Blues" Phase.

The drive back to school, feeling some type of way.


11. The "What even is homework?" Phase.

All that stuffing and turkey got to your head, and you just don't know where to even start.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
