Thanksgiving, As Told By 'Big Mouth'

"You're the man, baby."

Thanksgiving, the day we've all been starving for. A day devoted entirely to eating. Sure, the popular Netflix show "Big Mouth" cares more about sex and hormones, but we all can relate to how hungry our hormones can make us.

We know Coach Steve will be celebrating his Thanksgiving on the Diaper Barge, while Jay begs his mom to provide him with some sort of cooked meal, and Mori might even be nice to Andrew this time and let him fully enjoy his meal before giving him a random boner.

So let's enjoy Thanksgiving just like Nick and Andrew would: feeling stuffed.

The morning of the big day

It's dark and cold and early morning, but through your crusted eyes, you know that it's Thanksgiving. If you're a weird one, you go run in a Turkey Trot first thing in the morning, but if you're normal, you sleep in until you can smell food cooking.

Watching the Thanksgiving Day Parade

Whether your parents dragged you out of bed to watch it, or your siblings just *have* to see Charlie brown kick the giant football, the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade isn't such a bad way to kick off your day.

Greeting the family

Family shows up, and you have that one aunt that just can't stop leaving lipstick prints on your face and going on about how big you've gotten. You never know if she means height or weight, but you shudder nonetheless.

Hanging out with your favorite cousin

There's a reason they're your favorite cousin, Maybe it's the stuff you get yourselves into, or the lack of time you actually get to spend with one another, but linking up with them makes this holiday even better. You can consider the actual food as a bonus.

Talking to the older relatives

We all have that one bitter relative that can't ever seem to be proud of you for anything. They'll compare you to another family member, your achievements overshadowed by the others. You'll always be a failure to them. But hey, at least they brought over some dessert.

Watching and playing football

Whether you're playing in your own Turkey Bowl or watching some football on TV, it's a tradition to enjoy as much football as possible before you pig out. It's also great to have on in the background while you nap before the big meal.

Finally drinking with family

Someone decides it's finally acceptable for you to drink with the family, so you have to pretend that it's your first time drinking and you aren't just about to offer everyone a Y-Bomb. You've got this under control, though. I'm sure grandma is very proud of you for shotgunning a beer in under 5 seconds.

The time is now. The turkey is laid out on the table, looking just so plump, and you know you're going to eat until you're sick. But this is what Thanksgiving is all about. Gluttony, over-stuffing ourselves, and something about being thankful.

The food coma

The food coma hits harder than a hangover, and you're certain you won't be able to button your pants again. It was such an experience, both physically and emotionally, that you're in pure bliss. So beautiful, in fact, that you can't wait to do it all again the next day.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.
