Thanksgiving Break As Told By The Office
Msecnd

You've been waiting for Thanksgiving all semester. Finally you get to sleep in your own bed, eat real food, and have a week without stress from school. Surely you can handle all the questions and comments from your family members at Thanksgiving, right?

1. "How's your first semester been so far?"


Yes, I love school. Yes, it is sometimes like prison. It's fine.

2. "I'm sure you're getting all A's in your classes."


And I am sure that Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and Bigfoot will be joining us soon.

3. "You look like you might be gaining the freshman fifteen, be careful about that."


You'd gain weight too you only had access to french fries and coffee.

4. "Have you been able to save money since everything you need is on campus?"

No, Aunt Sally. I'm more poor than I was three months ago. Thanks for the reminder.

5. "Aren't finals coming up? Are you ready?"


I still don't even know what my finals are on so no, I am not ready.

6. "What are your classes like?"


I assure you they're not that interesting.

7. "You don't party, right?"

Nope and I've never had a sip of alcohol either. I swear.

8. "What do you think about the presidential election?"


We're not even discussing this.

9. "You seemed to have changed a lot."


It might just be that I haven't seen you in three months, but okay.

10. "Just a few more days till you go back. Aren't you excited?"


I can't even wait.

As great as this break will be, just remember that not everyone can handle the negatives. So go to your room and turn on The Office, everything will be alright.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
