You can all breathe a huge sigh of relief now that it's Thanksgiving break. But maybe not, because maybe you feel the need to convince your parents that you have somehow learned to adult since the last time they saw you. I'm pretty sure your parents will still love you even if you haven't learned to adult, but it's okay if you still want to prove your adult-ness. Here are some tips on how to trick your parents into thinking you have achieved adulting status:

1. Only eat healthy food when your parents are looking, and only eat junk food when they're not

2. Do your own laundry, but be sure to sneak a few things into the loads your mom does...just for old times sake

3. Talk about how great all of the assigned readings were for your classes

4. Justify your leggings and giant t-shirts by claiming that you hardly ever dress like this but it's just so great to be able to relax

5. Definitely don't talk about how you binge watched half of Grey's Anatomy last week...again

6. Don't forget to mention how you get tons of sleep...it's okay, they don't have to know that you get your sleep by napping rather than in nightly eight hour chunks

7. Brag so much about that one time you went to the gym that everybody will think you go regularly

8. Try not to drink too many cups of coffee in front of your parents, you can't let them notice your caffeine addiction

9. Don't fight with your siblings, at least not too publicly

10. Just generally act adult-y
