Thanksgiving dinner is a time where families come together and sit around the table to share stories, create memories, and celebrate quality time with one another. However, at every Thanksgiving dinner, there will be some people who have the most interesting characteristics that outshine the others. There are specifically five humorous ones:

1. The broke college student.

The broke college student is usually the one who wants to be there the least. They are sick of answering questions to how the school is going, their classes, their major, or if they have a boyfriend/girlfriend yet. Usually, they are dying through the semester and want to be left alone. The typical broke college kid is there for the free food and the naps. The best thing to do is leave them alone and send over some cash.

2. The "Newly Wed"

The Newly Wed is any couple who is recently dating, engaged, or married sitting at the dinner table. Sure, they're adorable, but who doesn't "aww" at romance every now and then. However, just because you're in love doesn't mean you have to finish each other's sentences, nor feed each other dessert and secretly hold hands under the table. This is a family dinner, not a wedding ceremony.

3. The "Old Man" 

This is the old guy who usually sits at the end of the table and will never shut up. This guy usually goes on and on about his days being a boy and has the most descriptive stores. He usually eats the most of the turkey with loads of gravy and has the loudest laughs.

4. The sweet grandma

This is usually the traditional old woman in the family who does the extra cooking for the family. Usually, they prepare the desserts and side options. They are usually still dressed in an apron finishing off the last few dishes while answering the door. They're the best with the little ones and they show the most love.

5. The little kiddos.

Usually, this group consists of five to ten-year-old children who sit at the kid's table, or in between the adults. They tend to be the messiest and the pickiest eaters, avoiding mashed potatoes and stuffing. They are the cutest out of everyone and seeing them at dinner will make your heart happy, at least until they start crying.

Hopefully, these five people at your Thanksgiving table this year will tone down a little.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
