With Thanksgiving right around the corner, it's time to project thanks for those things that we are thankful for. It's also the time of year to gather with friends and loved ones.

Here are 12 Thanksgiving shenanigans told through the cast of "Modern Family."

When you're waiting for dinner to be served but need a quick snack 

Waiting for the Thanksgiving meal to be done is the longest waiting game ever. I'm sure we all can relate to snacking on all the goodies while we wait for Turkey to be served.

That feeling when your favorite cousin shows up 

Everyone has that one cousin or family member that they're super close too. Every time you two see each other, the party starts and it makes the holidays even more special.

When you finally get to eat

You ate all the snacks and hear the words "Dinner's ready." It's the best thing you'll hear all day.

That one cousin who sings all the show-tunes during the Broadway performances on the Macy's Parade

The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is a staple for most families on Thanksgiving. For all of us theatre lovers, it's the day where we get to see all of our Broadway favorites belt their faces off and give us the performances of their lives.

Of course, there's always that one cousin who sings all the words to every Broadway song.

When your Aunt who can't cook said she made the macaroni and cheese 

There's always that one family member who loves to help everyone during the holidays, but they know their cooking is so bad the dog won't eat it.

When someone brings up politics 

Let's face it, in today's political climate, politics are bound to come up as a topic of discussion this holiday season. Ignore it and abort mission!

When someone asks if you're still single 

The age old question, that every family member asks during the holidays. Why yes Aunt Sara, I am still very single and I'm doing just fine.

When you're finally grown enough to sit at the adult table

Growing up everyone usually sits at the kid's table, but once you become of age you get to sit at the adult table and hear all the secrets and gossip. You find out that all the secret and gossip is about adult issues and how much being an adult sucks. I'll drink to that.

When your baby cousin shows you the baby shark video for the 1000th time 

No one wants to watch Baby Shark anymore. It's not going to happen!

When your Aunt tells you about her new "man"

If you can't find any information about your new potential man, give us his name and about five minutes and we'll have all the information you need.

When someone asks how college is going

Let's not talk about it.

When it's time for the Family Photo 

We all get annoyed when it comes time for the family photo because we're bloated from all the food and we're tired. At the end of the day, we do it because it makes Grandma happy and it's always nice to look back on these photos and memories.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
