Going home for Thanksgiving break is one of the most relieving, yet awkward breaks of the year. It's not quite winter break — there are still finals to take, unfortunately–but it's nowhere near the beginning of the semester. You see some family, but there isn't enough time to truly visit with all of your family. Also, in case you forgot, there's football on television and a TON of home cooked food. A ton. All that to say, here is Thanksgiving break as told by "Saturday Night Live."

When you're only anywhere from a week to a month away from Thanksgiving break


The moment you first find out about family drama that happened while you were away

Your siblings when your parents enforce a curfew on you during break



When your sibling brings home a significant other and the PDA is off the charts


When you see the weirdly colored/funky smelling dish on the table

When a family member purposefully brings up the election because there's outspoken supporters of Hillary and Trump in the family



When the political arguments ensue because everybody has to have the last word

When anyone asks you how the semester is going

When you wake up on the morning of Thanksgiving Day and realize that it's Thanksgiving Day

When you and your siblings start arguing five minutes after you walk through the door

When your older relatives try and compliment your clothes/shoes/accessories

Going in on your plate like

When you go up to get a slice of your favorite pie and there's none left

Happy Thanksgiving, y'all. Remember to give thanks.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
