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.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
