Thanksgiving Told By Grey's Anatomy

If there's no food, I'm going home!

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!

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?
