Thanksgiving Break As Told By Bob's Burgers GIFs

Thanksgiving is Bob's favorite, but is it a college student's?

Thanksgiving Break As Told By Bob's Burgers GIFs
Flavorwire

If you've seen so much as one episode of the always entertaining Bob's Burgers, you probably know how Bob Belcher feels about Thanksgiving. If you haven't gotten to know the incredible world of the Belcher fam yet, Thanksgiving is literally Bob's favorite day of the entire year. So when thinking of an article for the week of Thanksgiving, it seemed only right to let Bob help me tell the story.

1. The Initial Excitement

Food, family, a week off of school... It's great! Right?

2. The Realization You'll Spend The Whole Time Prepping For Finals

At least 4 projects that have been put off all semester, 6 papers (also put off all semester), 5 tests to study for, and one college student who just desperately wants to eat turkey and sleep. This is a terrible combination, and if one more person asks you how excited you are to "relax" you're going to cry.

3. Remembering You'll Still Get To Eat Food

So. Much. Food.

You're going to head back to campus loaded with enough leftovers to skip the dining hall for at least a week (more if your grandma gets her way) and it's going to be glorious.

4. That One Relative Who Puts Something Weird In A Traditional Recipe

Sugar in the Deviled Eggs????? What blasphemy is this?!?! I know everyone makes things a little differently, but that's just gross. No Deviled Eggs for me this year, I guess...

5. Trying Not To Look Like You Know Your Way Around The Liquor

No, Grandma, I've never done a shot before, it was all Uncle Joe's idea! Mom, of course I was kidding about that story you heard me telling my little sister.

6. In The Line For Food Like


Now you're in the weird position of being old enough that you have to line up behind the kids so you'll need to entertain yourself. Singing is a great option for entertainment, but making funny faces at your baby cousin works too.

7. Thinking About The Trauma Your Stomach Is About To Endure

You are about to overeat so bad, and you only care a little. Yes you'll probably be a mess, moaning on the floor, in a few hours but for now these mashed potatoes are everything.

8. When The Conversation Inevitably Turns To Politics

Please, whichever deity is listening, let me get through this dinner without learning exactly how many of my family members voted for Trump. If not that, let them at least be behaved enough that I can't win a round of "Casual Racism Bingo."

9. By The End Of The Night...

Too much food, too many tipsy relatives, and way too many questions about your future later, you're ready to go back to campus and plow through the end of the semester. Studying for yet another psychology final sounds infinitely better than explaining to your great-aunt Betty AGAIN that no your tattoo doesn't mean you worship Satan and kill babies.

10. But When Push Comes To Shove

They may drive you insane, but it's great to see your family and spend time with the people you miss while you're trying to survive the semester. So take a few deep breaths, and remember that you're only here for a little while.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
