As college students we're always looking forward to a real bed and some dang delicious mommy cooked meals when we head home for the first real break of the semester, ahhh Thanksgiving we do love you.
But along with the beauty of family time and full tummies comes the formidable thoughts of attending high school events like the Thanksgiving football game or seeing frenemies. You wake up to the smell of the turkey cooking in the morning after coming home so late last night thinking, wow it's so great to be here. You stretch and make that weird noise that you make when your comfy, MMM I love being able to make this noise, my roommate hates when I make this noise.
All of a sudden, your phone buzzes--it's your friends--they want to go to the Turkey Day Football Game, oh no. OH NO OH NO OH NO.
Okay hahahahahaha, you type back actually beginning to fear for your sanity.
Getting Ready
Gotta look cute, gotta look real cute. Okay jeans and bean boots with a flannel, perfect, that's fall- ish right? Ripped jeans? No not ripped jeans, that's so high school.
Now make-up. I hate make-up, I never wear make-up. Little bit of this, little bit of that, maybe I should start to wear make-up. Oh no, time for the winged tip... GAAHH don't mess it up. F***. I f***ed up.
Oh my god my hair. Seriously when it the last time I washed my hair? Haha Tuesday. Okay... a hat I need a hat. I should wear my UNH hat so everyone knows I go to college. *Looks in the mirror* Oooh, ahhhh, mmmm....
That's it I'm not going.
You run downstairs and mention you're going to the football game to your parents, "But you hate everyone you went to high school with," they say, and then you say, "Yeah I know!" and run out the door.
While Driving
Look at this, my little hometown how far you've come-- just kidding you're still totally the same. It feels like I'm driving to high school, yup crashed my car right over there on my way one morning, oh and that's where Jenny crashed, and that's where half the class crashed during the snowstorm. Oh jeez I'm here. *parks car* Breathe. *gets out of car* Nope. *gets back in car* Okay let's do this. *actually get out of the car*
Sees Frenemy
Okay, how do I avoid this...? Maybe she won't even recognize me. I should go stand in line for a hot dog or something, no ugh it's like 9am -- no one eat hot dogs right now. Wait I totally eat hot dogs right now haha. Wait is she coming over here?
"Oh my god HIIIIII." Is she rubbing my back? Wow she smells so good, I definitely don't smell that good. Remember to nod and make eye contact. Damn she has really mastered the wing eyeliner. Oh, and smile make sure you're smiling. *Smiles* Too toothy, too toothy! Calm down. "Haha, okay bye lady! So good to catch up!" What did she even just say? What's her name?!?
Walks Over to Football Stands
F*ck.
