It's just my luck that season 2 of Stranger Things came out during the busiest, most stressful term of my college career and I haven't had time to watch it yet. Thankfully, Thanksgiving break is almost here and I'll finally have time to catch up. For the next few days, all I can think about is Stranger Things and Thanksgiving dinner, so here they are combined.

1. Dressing up way nicer than usual just to go eat way too much food

Do I normally wear nothing but leggings and comfy sweatshirts? Yes. Does my family need to know that? No.

2. Eating all that magical Thanksgiving food


Cranberry sauce just tastes wrong any other time of year.

3. That one family member who always tries to fit in with the young people

We get it, you want to feel like you're still young. Just please don't say "on fleek" if you're over 40.

4. When your family asks, "What have you been up to lately?"

I pretty much study, sleep, eat, and repeat. Actually, that's a lie; I don't sleep.

5. "So what do you want to do with your future?"

I DON'T KNOW, OK. No one my age knows. Please stop asking me before I have another existential crisis and change my major again.

6. "Are you dating anyone?"

No, but maybe I'd actually find someone if you stopped asking me about it.

7. When someone brings up politics at dinner

Don't be that person.

8. Cutting an awkward conversation off by suggesting dessert

No one asked me to go help cut pie, but I'm going to excuse myself to go help cut pie.

9. Taking home leftovers

Honestly, the best part of Thanksgiving is the leftovers. It's like meal prep, except not healthy.

10. Settling in for that post-dinner nap

Why is it so satisfying to pass out on the couch after Thanksgiving dinner?

11. Finally getting out the Christmas decorations

You bet your ass I'm putting up my Christmas tree and tinsel the second Thanksgiving is over.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

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…
