9 Thanksgiving Episodes of Your Favorite Shows for This November

Personally, Thanksgiving for my family is always about finding the perfect movie or television show to watch together while stuffing our faces with potatoes. It's difficult to find something that everyone will enjoy, especially since I have some picky siblings who don't necessarily have the same taste in cinema as I do.

Through years of trial and error, I have compiled a cohesive list of television shows with Thanksgiving-themed episodes that are sure to satisfy every family member, from your conservative uncle to your picky sister.

1. Friends: Season 1, Episode 9

This episode proves that Thanksgiving doesn't have to be about an huge, expensive meal. All that matters is the company, even if you end up just eating cheese sandwiches.

2. Bob's Burgers: Season 3, Episode 5

Although this one may not be entirely appropriate for all ages, it does feature an upbeat song by the famous Linda Belcher.

3. The Simpsons: Season 2, Episode 7

If you are spending Thanksgiving with a sibling that always gets on your nerves, this will be almost too relatable for you. When a big meal cannot reconcile your relationship with your bratty brother, bonding through a ridiculous episode of television might do the trick.

4. Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Season 1, Episode 10

For those of you who won't be spending Thanksgiving with your biological family, this episode can remind you that your friends can be just as (or even more) supportive and fun.

5. How I Met Your Mother: Season 3, Episode 9

Who can forget the iconic holiday that is Slapsgiving?

6. Friends: Season 3, Episode 9

Yes, another Friends episode made it on the list because it's simply too good to miss. Even if you and your siblings bicker a lot, at least you're not fighting over a wooden troll.

7. That '70s Show: Season 1, Episode 9

Even though the entire episode is entertaining, the best part is the iconic outfits of the cast.

8. Seinfeld: Season 6, Episode 8

Although this lacks the traditional Thanksgiving setting, this is the perfect episode to jump into even if you have no background knowledge on the show.

9. New Girl: Season 1, Episode 9

For those of you who have experienced a dinner disaster on Thanksgiving, this episode might make you feel a little better about your inability to cook a turkey.

I don't know about you, but this Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for Netflix.

18 Signs You Might Have RBF

I'm fine. This is my natural face.

I'll admit it, I have a condition called RBF or, if you will, Resting Bitch Face.

Anna Kendrick, poor Kristen Stewart, the Queen of England are all life-long sufferers of RBF. Victoria Beckham even made a career out of it! And though it's usually used to describe women, some men are also afflicted. Kanye West is the best example of this.

Anticipating The End Of Your First Semester, As Told By April Ludgate

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

The craziest, funniest, and most unforgettable college memories are impossible to create without an amazing group of friends.

I'm fine. This is my natural face.

1. Strangers have told you "Smile!" on regular occasions

2. The first thing people say to you is "Are you okay?"

3. Dates have texted you asking if they bored you

4. Or, they tell you they don't want to go out again because you didn't seem interested

5. People question your level of comfort in any given situation

6. Friends have said, "When I first met you, I thought you didn't like me." and were totally serious about it

7. Jokes don't land well because people can't tell if you're serious or not

8. You've been told customer service isn't for you because you never smile

9. In fact, in your yearly review, your manager always writes to smile more under "room for improvement"

10. You hate when people have their cameras out taking candids

11. Even when you smile for a photograph it looks like either A) you're trying too hard or B) you're the Mona Lisa

12. Things can even get a little awkward when you smile

13. You regularly are told "I'm never sure how you feel about things"

14. You've scared strangers on the train/bus/sidewalk with your death glares-- even though they're unintentional and you're not really looking at them

15. Christmas and birthdays are hard because you have to figure out how to look like you're pleased with all your gifts even when you are

16. People frequently tell you you're intimidating

17. Friends stop inviting you to things because they think you don't like going

18. Your parents have RBF (it's definitely genetic. Thanks, Mom).

No matter how old you are.

1. Build a snowman

2. Start a snowball fight

3. Build a fort

4. Binge-watch Netflix

4. Look out the window

5. Grab coffee with a friend

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

1. When you look at the syllabus and realize there are only three weeks of the semester left; even though the first day was LITERALLY yesterday.

2. You look at your grades and realize they probably aren't as high as they should be, which is a terrifying realization.

3. When you think to yourself at night, "tomorrow, I will wake up early and go to the library ALL day, and, hell, maybe after I'll go to the gym for a little bit, just to push myself that extra mile."

4. Tomorrow actually comes. The inevitable and overpowering sense of procrastination is too strong to overcome.

5. But you DO end up going to the library. Not all day though, but still, a while. But no, you do not go to the gym. Still, you made an effort, so you decide to treat yo' self.

6. When you realize you need to schedule a meeting with your adviser because you need to sign up for classes next semester. But you also realize that since you waited until the last minute, you're going to get stuck with all of the crappy classes.

7. When you low-key try to slip into conversation with your professors that you need extra credit because you're that desperate.

8. When it's already the third time you've seen your adviser in two days because you have no damn clue what you're doing and need all the help you can get.

9. When you apply for a job associated with your major even though you have no experience, but you just want to dive headfirst into the deep end of adulthood and get it over with.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.
