Thanksgiving With Your Family, As Told By "Stranger Things"
Wikipedia

There's nothing like Thanksgiving. From the Macy's Parade to stuffing your insides with copious amounts of turkey, mashed potatoes, and gravy — it's a day for food, friends, and family. So why not throw in some lovable 80s kids and a couple demogorgons along the way?

1. Waking up excited for the day of feasting

Food— get in my belly!

2. Giving your outfit an approving look before walking out the door

Can I eat large amounts of food in this? Check. Is it stain-proof? Check.

3. When the hoards of family members start swarming the house

THEY'RE COMING

4. Trying to socialize with people you haven't seen in a decade

Hi! You say that we met when I was seven but I have no idea who you are.

5. When you open the casserole pan and it's all cheesy, steamy, and gooey.

No amount of heart-eye emojis could capture this feeling

6. Sitting at the kids' table (but not really having a problem with it anymore)

Your cousins are actually okay!

7. When your great-aunt (that CAN'T cook) brings a dish and you have to eat it out of kindness

Oh, look... thank you?

8. When your uber-political uncle decides to bring up his support for Trump at the dinner table

Can we not? I will drop-kick you across this room if you bring up his name one more time.

9. When it's time for the family to get lit

Nothing like a post-Thanksgiving party and roast sesh.

10. Waking up from that killer Thanksgiving food-coma

The struggle is real

11. Finally breaking out the holiday decorations after all of the festivities - it's Christmastime!

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.

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.
