Thanksgiving Break: the final break before the madness that is the end of the semester. You envision yourself stuffing your face with turkey, relaxing with the family and catching up with old friends. The reality is much different. With a little help from Bob's Burgers, let us understand the reality that is Thanksgiving Break.

When you get stuck in traffic on the drive home:

The stress begins as soon as you pull out of the parking lot. The desire to get home quickly amplifies your road rage.

When you finally get home and see your mom:

No one can squeeze all the air out of you quite like your mother. Also, her sixth sense for knowing that it has been your toughest semester yet is way too in tune.

When your get put on kitchen duty to help prep the Thanksgiving dinner:

So much for hours spent relaxing.

When you promptly get taken off kitchen duty because you're only making things worse:

You almost feel offended, but you're honestly just happy to have time to relax again.

When your mom reveals every embarrassing secret she knows about you to the entire family:

"Oh honey, do you remember when you were 12 and-"

"I was hoping that moment would be erased from history but thanks, Mom."

When your far more successful cousin starts boasting about their accomplishments in front of the entire family:

Nothing makes you feel more inadequate than your cousin who just got offered a paid internship at a huge law firm before they even graduate.

When it is finally dinner and the only conversation you need to make is asking people to pass the food:

Any time anyone asks you what your plans are after graduation, just shove a giant spoonful of mashed potatoes in your mouth. No one can talk with a mouthful of mashed potatoes.

When you try to hide from your family that you've had one glass of wine too many:

No, I'm not drunk-- I'm just a tittle lipsy. I mean, a little tipsy.

When your mom spends hour running around the house and entertaining family and you start to feel ignored:

Mom, you haven't seen me in months. You don't need to talk to anyone else. Only me.

When your younger cousins start talking about how they can't wait to grow up and go away to college:

Don't worry. You will be dead on the inside one day too.

When you get put on post-dinner cleanup duty:

The cleaning never ends. This mountain of dishes will never be gone.

When you love your family but you are ready for them to go home and not see them again until Christmas:

Your family is awesome. You don't know what you would do without them. But all of them in one place all day long takes it's toll.

When you you run into old high school friends and you realize how much you have changed:

Running in to people that you used to be close to makes you realize that three years of college can turn you into an almost unrecognizable person.

When you go to a party with all of your old friends from high school and you have to set your limit:

It is difficult to strike the balance between "I can't get through this night without alcohol" and "I need to not embarrass myself in front of all these people."

When Thanksgiving Break ends and you need to face the reality of going back to school:

Spending the week at home really felt like you were living in the lap of luxury. You'll miss home, but you really do love your life at college.

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.
