Thanksgiving Day As Told By Parks & Recreation

Her Campus Placeholder Avatar Monica Flickinger
This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Cal U chapter.

Suffering through the long car ride

 

Walking in and immediately having your cheeks pinched even though you’re 20-something

 

When your family starts asking you about school

Being told that the food is finally on the table

 

Having to make awkward small talk with your cousins

 

Eating literally everything you can get your hands on

 

 

When politics comes up at the dinner table

 

 

Being asked if you want seconds of desert

 

Leaving after a family fight
