12 Things That May Have Happened While You Were Home For Thanksgiving
Glamour

We all know that turkey and mashed potatoes are promised when we head home for Thanksgiving. But, there are always some unexpected things that happen to everyone when they head home for the holiday.

1. Your childhood room changed drastically.

2. You got the "wyd" text from your high school ex around 11pm on Friday night.

3. Your dog seems to have aged ten years.

4. Your lifelong best friends are all in serious relationships, therefore, leaving no time for you to catch up.

5. Your aunts began to include you in the family gossip after dinner (with lots of wine, of course.)

6. Your cousin brought home a new girlfriend and you could immediately tell that the entire family disapproved of her.

7. Your grandpa gave up on attempting to dress nice and sat in the same chair for the entire day.

8. You had a serious conversation with your dad about finances and wondered when you grew up so quickly.

9. Your siblings actually showed some sort of emotion towards your arrival back home.

10. Your mom's new diet really put her on edge.

11. All of your clothes that you left in your closet were thrown in a box that you were forced to look through or else they would be thrown out.

12. You didn't realize for almost 24 hours that your wifi password changed and you had been slowly wasting all of your data.

13. The only thing that didn't change was your uncles drinking beer and watching football for hours on end.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
