Thanksgiving is the beginning of one of the best times of year. You get to catch up with relatives and old friends and eat more food than is normally acceptable!

You also get to catch up on cuddles with your dog, so what more do you need? New Girl is one my favorite shows, and here are 11 times the show perfectly explained my emotions and responses to people and situations during Thanksgiving break:

1. Thanksgiving dinner is basically:

2. "You can't listen to Christmas music until AFTER Thanksgiving."

3. "How's college going?"

4. Black Friday shopping:

5. After you eat your full body weight in mashed potatoes:

6. "How have you been?"

7. "All the homework you're doing must be so stressful!"

8. "Do you have a boyfriend yet?"

9. When you reunite with all your friends from home:

10. Thinking about all the assignments you have to do when you get back to school:

11. And when Thanksgiving ends...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
