Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday and break where college students get to go home for a few days to see their friends and family and eat way the too much food for their bodies to handle -- pretty much ruining the body that they spent a semester working out for. What more can we ask for?
Finally getting home after a long, grueling car ride
So you go in your room, don't bother unpacking anything and just take a nice 5 hour nap. You deserved it.
Showing up to your relatives' house for Thanksgiving like:
...But then they tell you that the food is ready
Knowing that you're about to dive in and eat half your body weight in turkey and stuffing deserves a happy dance.
Food is served and you waste no time
And then your family starts asking about school and life
"How's school going?", "Are you passing your classes?" "Do you have a boyfriend still?" "Are you making friends?" "Are you stressed?" "What are your plans for after graduation?" "Do you have a job?"
After telling them you're fine countless times, you finally cave in and speak the truth
I guess you could say that I'm all of the above?
After you've eaten too many helpings of food, someone brings out the dessert and you just stare at it like:
But you refuse to give up because you're not a quitter. If you can do college, you can eat that dessert and you will. *Breathes in* *Breathes out* Okay, I'm ready.
When you finish that piece of pie and realize that your body reached its limit and you feel as if you just might explode
And you just lie on the floor wondering if this is the end for you -- or at least for your summer body and the family walks over concerned.
You finally make it up and after sitting on the couch thinking about your eating decisions, you decide to go play with your younger cousins
And they tell you how you're their "favorite cousin ever" and can walk away from the day feeling like a complete winner.
After hours of socializing, eating, and contemplating your decisions, it's time to leave and they tell you there's plenty of leftovers
You give your family hugs goodbye and hope to see them again soon before you head back to school to finish out the semester.
But then you realize you have a long car ride back home
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
