Thanksgiving, As Told By 'Big Mouth'

"You're the man, baby."

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.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
