It's that time of year again- Thanksgiving Break is finally approaching. For college students everywhere, Thanksgiving is a time to relax and not really worry about homework (well, depending on what major you're in). However, going home for Thanksgiving is actually a lot more complicated and stressful than it looks. From traveling, to Thanksgiving in general, the stages of going home can drive students crazy.

1. Trying to get a flight/train/car last minute.

Traveling is stressful for everyone, including college students. However, traveling on Thanksgiving is a whole other monster.

2. Secretly planning your Black Friday shopping plans during Thanksgiving dinner.

We have all thought about this during at least one Thanksgiving dinner.

3. Helping with Thanksgiving prep.

Unless you are so terrible at cooking that you need an intervention from Gordon Ramsay, you will probably help out with Thanksgiving prep. Or, if your family doesn't want to deal with cooking at all, you can always go out to eat!

4. Unpacking all the unwanted clothes from college.

Goodbye summer clothes, and hello sweaters and scarves!

5. Seeing a ton of relatives/family friends.

Thanksgiving means seeing family and old friends at a very fast rate. Be prepared for inevitable questions including: "Do you have a job yet?" or "How are your grades?"

6. Drinking more wine than usual.

Honestly, any kind of wine goes really nice with your Thanksgiving dinner.

7. Eating a lot more than usual (duh).

It's inevitable that you're going to get a food coma on Thanksgiving. Be prepared.

8. Realizing that you were extremely sleep deprived in college.

Going home for Thanksgiving also means more sleep. And then you realize that all-nighters eventually add up.

9. Trying to finish your homework on time but procrastinate instead.

Procrastination is inevitable.

10. Realizing that after break you're almost immediately going into Finals Week.

And instead of studying you'll probably be looking at ugly Christmas sweaters and potential Christmas gifts.
