The holidays are here and as much as we are looking forward to it, nothing is perfect. 'Friends' knows exactly what we mean.
1. Pure excitementÂ
GiphyYou are so excited to get to see your family again. You may even do a happy dance!
2. The countdown
GiphyYou are probably sitting in your dorm or apartment packing your bags and questioning why you didnt just get the entire week off?!
3. Thanksgiving dinner (Joey style)
GiphyYou have changed from your cute outfit into some lose sweats. It is time to eat and you are ready because you know college is a vicious cycle of full meals one day and forgetting to eat the next. You have prepared for this moment all semester. And everyone better watch out because "Joey doesn't share food".
4. Boredom and college talk
GiphyThere you are, just sitting and enjoying your meal. Then out of nowhere, you hear the despicable words "How's college?" or "What are you majoring in?" and now you hate them. You are at the dinner table wondering why they would ruin your feast this way.
5.. It is time to party!
GiphyRegrets will definitely happen on the dance floor AKA the living room, but it does not matter because you deserve it. Now go out there and shake those beads because Monica only relaxes once in a while, it's your time to shine.
6. Leftovers the next day
GiphyYou may have definitely had a little too much to drink the night before. But that's not something Thanksgiving leftovers won't cure.
7. Political debate time
GiphyYou never really know when this one will happen but its bound to come up. Someone is bound to speak politics into your break. It may not be during dinner but rest assured, no one can ever leave politics out. So you better get ready for some heat and make sure you know what you are talking about.
8. The realization that you are back home
GiphySuddenly you have a list of chores, a curfew and it feels like high school all over again. You just want to storm out of the house and never come back.
9. Catching up on gossip
GiphyYou haven't seen everyone in days, weeks, even months. Suddenly you have two new cousins, someone got divorced, Maria got back with her ex, your aunt moved out of town and it feels like you are walking right into the middle of a soap opera. Get ready for the shock of your life.
10. Leaving until next holiday season
GiphyThe end is finally here and your bags are packed. You are done with the drama, your bag is filled with leftovers you hid, and you are excited to be going back.
Now, once you get back to campus. Remember to rinse and repeat this list because regardless of it all, you miss them. They are your family and you still love them.
