Going Home For Thanksgiving Break As Told By 'SNL'
NBC

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
