Your cheat sheet to your family's questions at Thanksgiving dinner, as told by Grey's Anatomy.

1. So how's the food at college?

It's great, and we totally don't eat cereal for every meal.

2. How's your new professor this semester?

The one who never gives any homework and outlines all of our exams?

3. So that means your grades are great, right?

Well...

4. How's your boyfriend?

Probably should not even touch this one.

5. What do you miss the most when you're at school?

It's totally you, Mom, and not the dog.

6. Why don't you come home more often?

Why don't you cook more often?

7. And when your weird uncle says he voted differently than you...

You have got to try to keep it civil.

8. And when that one cousin says that you're letting yourself go...

Who has time to go to the gym?

9. And when your mom tells you to be nicer to your grandma...

She needs to be nice, too!

10. When they ask how you're handling being a senior:

This one is too real.

11. So maybe you tell them this instead.

12. And then suddenly, your brother asks if anyone minds if he takes the last piece of pumpkin pie:

13. But now everyone's going home, and you're just like:

14. Except your awful cousin:

And before you know it, you've actually survived the holiday.

Until Christmas, anyway.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

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?
