Thanksgiving, the day we've all been starving for. A day devoted entirely to eating. Sure, the popular Netflix show "Big Mouth" cares more about sex and hormones, but we all can relate to how hungry our hormones can make us.

We know Coach Steve will be celebrating his Thanksgiving on the Diaper Barge, while Jay begs his mom to provide him with some sort of cooked meal, and Mori might even be nice to Andrew this time and let him fully enjoy his meal before giving him a random boner.

So let's enjoy Thanksgiving just like Nick and Andrew would: feeling stuffed.

The morning of the big day

It's dark and cold and early morning, but through your crusted eyes, you know that it's Thanksgiving. If you're a weird one, you go run in a Turkey Trot first thing in the morning, but if you're normal, you sleep in until you can smell food cooking.

Watching the Thanksgiving Day Parade

Whether your parents dragged you out of bed to watch it, or your siblings just *have* to see Charlie brown kick the giant football, the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade isn't such a bad way to kick off your day.

Greeting the family

Family shows up, and you have that one aunt that just can't stop leaving lipstick prints on your face and going on about how big you've gotten. You never know if she means height or weight, but you shudder nonetheless.

Hanging out with your favorite cousin

There's a reason they're your favorite cousin, Maybe it's the stuff you get yourselves into, or the lack of time you actually get to spend with one another, but linking up with them makes this holiday even better. You can consider the actual food as a bonus.

Talking to the older relatives

We all have that one bitter relative that can't ever seem to be proud of you for anything. They'll compare you to another family member, your achievements overshadowed by the others. You'll always be a failure to them. But hey, at least they brought over some dessert.

Watching and playing football

Whether you're playing in your own Turkey Bowl or watching some football on TV, it's a tradition to enjoy as much football as possible before you pig out. It's also great to have on in the background while you nap before the big meal.

Finally drinking with family

Someone decides it's finally acceptable for you to drink with the family, so you have to pretend that it's your first time drinking and you aren't just about to offer everyone a Y-Bomb. You've got this under control, though. I'm sure grandma is very proud of you for shotgunning a beer in under 5 seconds.

Chowing down

The time is now. The turkey is laid out on the table, looking just so plump, and you know you're going to eat until you're sick. But this is what Thanksgiving is all about. Gluttony, over-stuffing ourselves, and something about being thankful.

The food coma

The food coma hits harder than a hangover, and you're certain you won't be able to button your pants again. It was such an experience, both physically and emotionally, that you're in pure bliss. So beautiful, in fact, that you can't wait to do it all again the next day.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
