Going Home For Thanksgiving Break As Told By 'SNL'

Going home for Thanksgiving break is one of the most relieving, yet awkward breaks of the year. It's not quite winter break — there are still finals to take, unfortunately–but it's nowhere near the beginning of the semester. You see some family, but there isn't enough time to truly visit with all of your family. Also, in case you forgot, there's football on television and a TON of home cooked food. A ton. All that to say, here is Thanksgiving break as told by "Saturday Night Live."

When you're only anywhere from a week to a month away from Thanksgiving break


The moment you first find out about family drama that happened while you were away

Your siblings when your parents enforce a curfew on you during break



When your sibling brings home a significant other and the PDA is off the charts


When you see the weirdly colored/funky smelling dish on the table

When a family member purposefully brings up the election because there's outspoken supporters of Hillary and Trump in the family



When the political arguments ensue because everybody has to have the last word

When anyone asks you how the semester is going

When you wake up on the morning of Thanksgiving Day and realize that it's Thanksgiving Day

When you and your siblings start arguing five minutes after you walk through the door

When your older relatives try and compliment your clothes/shoes/accessories

Going in on your plate like

When you go up to get a slice of your favorite pie and there's none left

Happy Thanksgiving, y'all. Remember to give thanks.

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.
