As the holiday season approaches, there is a lot of pumpkin pie, thanks to give, end of semester stress, eggnog, family arguments, finals and Christmas cheer. Here are some of these things as told by Nick, Jess, Winston, and Schmidt.

Returning home and realizing that you are bound to all your old family rules:

Hanging out with your brothers/sisters after being apart:

Explaining what your plans are for Thanksgiving Break:

Watching family arguments like:

Describing the end of semester to friends and family:

You on Thanksgiving Day:

Family members pointing out that you are single:

Explaining what your plans are for Christmas break:

When your dad asks you to do your laundry:

Parents asking what your GPA is:

When extended family members ask you what you are planning to do with "that degree":

But in the end, as long as you are surrounded by the people you love there's no way you won't find joy this holiday season.

Take some time to give thanks, spread some Christmas cheer, binge watch Parks and Rec, and drink some eggnog. Also, running down the street at three a.m. to make people turn on their Christmas lights is always a good idea.
Happy Holidays, everyone!
