Thanksgiving As A College Student As Told By "Friends"

Let's play a game of "How many times will I get asked the same 3 questions?"

Thanksgiving As A College Student As Told By "Friends"

Who doesn't love Thanksgiving dinner, right? Turkey, dressing, every casserole imaginable, all types of pies. You're glad to finally get to sleep in your own bed for a few nights and have your mom there to cook anything better than the cafeteria food. But leaving your college town and college friends for Thanksgiving has its downsides.

Getting asked about grades, GPA, upcoming finals or anything relating to how you're doing in school.

How many times am I going to be asked if I've met any special guys? Because no, I haven't. And that's only because I'm not looking to meet the one right now. No, please stop asking.

So many family members and people from your hometown asking what you want to do when you come back for summer break or what you want to do after graduation.

Sibling rivalry is back in full swing now that you're home.

While getting your third serving of the sweet potato casserole someone asks if the Freshman 15 is affecting you.

When that one relative brings up their Facebook posts about the recent political happenings and you really just need to make one thing clear...

Someone suggesting that you should take a trip visit that long-distance relative that you never speak to and all you can say is...

When you've finally had enough of the small talk and getting asked a million questions by relatives and you're ready to eat.

Someone eating the last slice of your favorite pie has you feeling empty inside.

And finally, once dinner is over and it's time for a comatose nap.

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.
