Friends and Family,

In case you were wondering what reasons we college students have to be thankful for, here the top five things we are thankful for this Thanksgiving break:

1. Seeing our dogs.

Prepare for a 20-minute long reunion filled with jumping up and down repetitively, doggy-talk and possibly some tears.

2. Home-cooked food.

After eating Ramen noodles and Luchables pizza for almost an entire semester, we're pretty ready to dig into a home-cooked meal. And what better meal to dig into than a delicious Thanksgiving feast?

3. Sleep.

Don't be offended if we spend the majority of our break sleeping. We've gotten very little of it lately.

4. The lack of class.

No 8 a.m. government lecture for an entire week? Yes, please.

5. Being able to binge-watch Netflix without the guilt of avoiding homework.

Season 2 of "Stranger Things" isn't going to watch itself!

Friends and Family,

Yes, we are thankful for all of these things -- VERY thankful in fact, but we are also thankful for something else -- YOU. In all seriousness, we are grateful to have a place and people to go home to celebrate this holiday with. That is why, on this list, you guys definitely rank as #2.

What? Did you think you were going to outrank dogs? Get real.

Love,

Your Thankful College Student

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

For better or for worse

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
