Thanksgiving Told By Grey's Anatomy

If there's no food, I'm going home!

Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday and break where college students get to go home for a few days to see their friends and family and eat way the too much food for their bodies to handle -- pretty much ruining the body that they spent a semester working out for. What more can we ask for?

Finally getting home after a long, grueling car ride

So you go in your room, don't bother unpacking anything and just take a nice 5 hour nap. You deserved it.

Showing up to your relatives' house for Thanksgiving like:

...But then they tell you that the food is ready

Knowing that you're about to dive in and eat half your body weight in turkey and stuffing deserves a happy dance.

Food is served and you waste no time

And then your family starts asking about school and life

"How's school going?", "Are you passing your classes?" "Do you have a boyfriend still?" "Are you making friends?" "Are you stressed?" "What are your plans for after graduation?" "Do you have a job?"

After telling them you're fine countless times, you finally cave in and speak the truth

I guess you could say that I'm all of the above?

After you've eaten too many helpings of food, someone brings out the dessert and you just stare at it like:

But you refuse to give up because you're not a quitter. If you can do college, you can eat that dessert and you will. *Breathes in* *Breathes out* Okay, I'm ready.

When you finish that piece of pie and realize that your body reached its limit and you feel as if you just might explode

And you just lie on the floor wondering if this is the end for you -- or at least for your summer body and the family walks over concerned.


You finally make it up and after sitting on the couch thinking about your eating decisions, you decide to go play with your younger cousins

And they tell you how you're their "favorite cousin ever" and can walk away from the day feeling like a complete winner.

After hours of socializing, eating, and contemplating your decisions, it's time to leave and they tell you there's plenty of leftovers

You give your family hugs goodbye and hope to see them again soon before you head back to school to finish out the semester.

But then you realize you have a long car ride back home

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
