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.
