With Thanksgiving break just around the corner and That 70’s Show being a favorite of mine, what better way to illustrate the stages of being home for Thanksgiving than by using the best of characters? Here they are, telling us exactly how Thanksgiving break goes.

1. When you first get home and you try to bombard your siblings who have “missed you so much”


2. That first morning when you roll over and look at the clock and it’s not 9 A.M.

3. When your parents ask how you’re doing this semester, and then you realize it’s almost over and you’re failing 2 classes


4. When you overhear your parents talking about not cooking a full Thanksgiving meal this year because it’s only going to be the three of you


5. When your grandparents ask how you’ve survived so many hard classes and you’re just like…


6. When it’s all fun and games during family dinner, and then you remember that English essay is due in three days and you haven’t started

7. When you’re just trying to enjoy leftovers for breakfast and your parents ask if you have any homework to do over break


8. When you accidentally reveal that you dropped that one class and your parents start interrogating you


9. When everyone starts asking if you’re high, drunk, single, failing, or stressed and it feels too real so you just sit there and think


10. And finally, when you’re about to walk out of the front door to head back to school and your parents are like “We didn't even get to talk about your job!” and you think about never coming back but then you just have a brief therapy session with yourself instead


There are very few people who have the ability to capture the root of what Thanksgiving at home can be like, but these guys do the best job possible.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
