Your Thanksgiving, In "Friends" GIFs

Let the awkward questions from family members begin.

Your Thanksgiving, In "Friends" GIFs

Around Thanksgiving, you go back home and see all of your family you really haven't seen since the summer. I mean sure, you come back to your hometown every now and then, for just a weekend, but this time you're with your whole family. Your brothers, sisters, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, dogs, everyone will be there. Spending time with family can be sometimes relaxing or awkward, considering you never see them, so here to explain this mixture of emotions is the cast of hit TV show "Friends."

You'll get asked if you're currently dating anyone. You tell them you're just too busy with school and work to focus on that sort of thing. But really....

Or my personal favorite, "what are your plans after graduation?"

Accidentally getting drunk in front of your family for the first time, because apparently your family believes in endless Margaritas and then seeing your family drunk for the first time.

You get to get an earful from that one family member that has a political opinion on just about anything and you have to sit there, nod your head, and smile. Or just nod off.

Fighting with your siblings like you did when you were seven, like nothing has changed

The texts you send your friends because you're 100 percent done with your family

The day of thanksgiving is immense torture the moment you wake up. The smell the cooking in the kitchen is intoxicating and the torture doesn't stop up until you get to eat dinner (which you've been starving yourself all day for) and everything looks SO GOOD.

Then getting in trouble for sneaking slices of food before it's dinner time.

Getting so cranky because you're so hungry you say things you don't mean

But when it's time to eat....

...and some one asks to pass the plate of turkey.

You know you've reached your limit but you find yourself still putting food in your mouth.

Then the intense food coma you slip into and the pre-black Friday nap you take before you scrimmage for the best black Friday deals.

But being surrounded by people who love you the most is one of the greatest feelings in the world. Take advantage of this time with family, time with these people are so rare.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
