9 Times Dustin From 'Stranger Things' Was ALL Of Us, Post-Thanksgiving
Netflix

Thanksgiving is a fantastic day for most, filled with food, fun, and family. But, after the holiday, in the days that follow, we Americans all seem to be in what I like to call the "Post-Turkey Hump," or PTH. As PTH inflicts us, we all have similar feelings of fatigue and dread as we head towards Monday and the return of normal life. One of the stages of PTH is binge-watching TV shows, and one of this year's favorites is Netflix's "Stranger Things." If you happen to have chosen this show as your post-Thanksgiving cure, then you'll know that Dustin Henderson is the perfect embodiment of all the feelings we're struggling with this holiday season.

1. Saying goodbye to your loved ones


2. ...But being kinda happy to see them go


3. Remembering that Monday is approaching far too quickly


4. Going into Black Friday shopping


5. Stepping on the scale and seeing how much turkey you ACTUALLY ate


6. Finding the last bit of leftovers in the back of the fridge


7. Trying to wear jeans the day after


8. Being disappointed with normal food

9. Knowing that there's more of the holiday season to come

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
