8 Moods Every College Girl Feels Coming Home For A LONG Thanksgiving Weekend

Pxhere

Most people experience Thanksgiving in a similar way. It's the one holiday that is under-appreciated and overpowered by it's neighboring holiday Christmas. However, it's the most important time of the year to spend with family. As Thanksgiving approaches, here are the eight typical stages of the celebration that everyone experiences in a similar way.

Stage 1: Agony

Giphy

You look over at your alarm and it's 8 a.m. Why do you have to get up so early when you're technically on Thanksgiving break?

Stage 2: Excitement

Giphy

After you wake up and get ready for the day you start to think about turkey and stuffing, and suddenly your mood changes.

Stage 3: Stress

Giphy

You get to your family gathering and haven't seen most of them since you left for fall semester. You have so many stories to tell, where do you start?

Stage 4: Helpfulness

Giphy

Help your grandma cook for gosh sakes!!!

Stage 5: Relief

Giphy

You've done your part helping, and caught up with your relatives, the turkey is cooking, and the plates are set out. It's time to feast!

Stage 6: Guilt

Giphy

Why did you decide to go back for FOUR MORE SLICES of turkey and another heap of mashed potatoes? You feel like you could burst any minute.

Stage 7: Sadness.

Giphy

The celebration is over. You miss your family already, and have a harsh realization that when you go back to school it's...finals week.

Stage 8: Relaxation.

Giphy

With all that turkey in your stomach, you know you're about to have the best sleep of your life.

I know most college students can relate. Happy Thanksgiving!

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.
