Thanksgiving As A College Student As Told By "Friends"

Who doesn't love Thanksgiving dinner, right? Turkey, dressing, every casserole imaginable, all types of pies. You're glad to finally get to sleep in your own bed for a few nights and have your mom there to cook anything better than the cafeteria food. But leaving your college town and college friends for Thanksgiving has its downsides.

Getting asked about grades, GPA, upcoming finals or anything relating to how you're doing in school.

How many times am I going to be asked if I've met any special guys? Because no, I haven't. And that's only because I'm not looking to meet the one right now. No, please stop asking.

So many family members and people from your hometown asking what you want to do when you come back for summer break or what you want to do after graduation.

Sibling rivalry is back in full swing now that you're home.

While getting your third serving of the sweet potato casserole someone asks if the Freshman 15 is affecting you.

When that one relative brings up their Facebook posts about the recent political happenings and you really just need to make one thing clear...

Someone suggesting that you should take a trip visit that long-distance relative that you never speak to and all you can say is...

When you've finally had enough of the small talk and getting asked a million questions by relatives and you're ready to eat.

Someone eating the last slice of your favorite pie has you feeling empty inside.

And finally, once dinner is over and it's time for a comatose nap.

And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
