Don't you dare touch that last piece of pie, Susan. I haven't had good food in 4 months.

Thanksgiving Dinner For College Students, As Told By 'Bridesmaids'

Thanksgiving break has officially begun (for most of us), which means we have finally reached the final stretch of the semester. Thanksgiving break is a time for us college students to unwind, eat good food again, and pretend like finals aren't right around the corner. Coming home for Thanksgiving is bittersweet for us college students, especially when it comes to attending Thanksgiving dinner. But thankfully for us, Bridesmaids perfectly captured the Thanksgiving dinner experience for college students.

1. When you first wake up on the morning of Thanksgiving

2. When you walk into your aunt's house for Thanksgiving dinner like, 'Yes, I am here, arisen from the dead of college, you're welcome for gracing you with my presence for the first time in 4 months'

3. When your extended family asks where your boyfriend/girlfriend is

4. When your rich aunt chipperly asks how college is going

5. When the pies start getting brought out to the table

6. When you and your siblings realize you are reunited for an entire week straight

7. When your mom tries to cheer you up after you tell her your grades are slipping and you've gained 5 pounds

8. When your cousin who's going to be in college next fall asks for college advice

9. When your parents have a few too many drinks and start openly flirting with each other right in front of you

10. When your sibling is eyeing the last piece of pumpkin pie

11. When your extended family continues to bombard you with questions you hate answering

12. When your annoyingly perfect cousin starts telling everyone about her straight-A's, hot boyfriend, and newly acquired six-pack

13. When the annual Thanksgiving board games begin and your partner is losing it for you

14. When your sister asks if you and the guy you've been hanging out with are getting serious

15. When your dad asks you what your friends are doing for the holiday

16. When the wine starts kicking in

17. When it's been 30 minutes since you finished your third plate of food

18. When your Uncle decides to start talking about politics and you know it's going to cause a family-wide argument

19. When your mom starts lecturing you as you walk up to get seconds...for the fourth time

20. When you get that third piece of pie even though you know it's going to push you over the edge in to a food coma

21. When your family decides to play some two-touch football for fun, but your overly competitive cousin is playing too

22. When you've finished your four plates, 3 pieces of pie, and uncountable glasses of wine

23. When your aunt asks if you want to take the leftovers back to school with you

24. When the Thanksgiving dinner festivities have ended and it's time for you to get your Black Friday shopping on

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
