1. Thanksgiving's the holiday with the best food.

This one's the obvious one. Bring on the turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie!

2. You get a break from school/work.

I don't know about you, but I could use a break right about now in the semester.

3. It marks the start of the holiday season.

Thanksgiving!! Christmas!! New Year's!! My favorite trilogy.

4. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Having been a holiday event since 1924, this parade is a must-see, whether it's on your TV or live in NYC.

5. You can participate in a turkey trot!

My family always wakes up at the crack of dawn each Thanksgiving to get in some exercise by running a 5K together at our church. It's the perfect way to prepare to eat your weight in potatoes!

6. Score some great deals Black Friday shopping.

Whether you love it or hate it, it's gonna happen. Might as well get a head start on your Christmas shopping with a bunch of great deals!

7. You can wear whatever you want.

Want to dress up and take pics? Go for it! Want to lounge in your PJs all day? Why not?

8. Watch football game after football game.

There's plenty of games to watch, no matter who your favorite team is. Plus, it's an excuse to be a couch potato all day!

9. Home.

There's nothing more comforting than being in the warmth of your home on a holiday like this one. Sit back and relax.

10. Togetherness.

Nothing is better than getting your family and friends together and simply enjoying one another's company. In our busy lives, we certainly don't do that enough.

Plus, getting hyped for Thanksgiving is also the perfect way to prepare for Christmas...am I getting ahead of myself?

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

Loyola University Chicago

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
