Thanksgiving: the day comprised of gratitude, family, and tradition... which all revolve around eating turkey. Being a vegetarian on Thanksgiving can be a struggle. Here's how it all goes down:

1. You are forced to cringe at the smell of the turkey for many hours because it cooks literally ALL day.

2. While inhaling this relentless stench, you pray that the sweet potatoes have a high ratio of marshmallows on top.

3. You also hope that the hostess kindly considers the minority vegetarian group and makes vegetarian stuffing.

4. The food is finally served after a full day of eagerly anticipating. You sprint to the green beans and fill up an entire plate’s worth.

5. You get some dirty stares from distant relatives because you selfishly take all of the side dishes.

6. But the sides aren’t even that good because they are just vegetables...

8. You wait patiently for everyone to carve the turkey and dig in so the table can be cleared for dessert.

9. One younger, immature cousin must always be obnoxious by trying to make you eat meat even though he/she knows you have been a vegetarian for years.

10. The adults take their last sip of wine and begin clearing the table. BRING OUT THE PIES AND ICE CREAM BABY
