10 Relatable Thanksgiving Moments, As Told By Gilmore Girls

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Chapman chapter.

Ahh, Thanksgiving. A time to eat good food, take a break from life’s many stresses and reunite with family. Here are 10 moments from Thanksgiving dinner that we, and our good friends in Stars Hollow, can relate to:   

1. The pre-Thanksgiving doubt. How can all of this food possibly be eaten?!

 

2. When you finally decide to stop doubting your abilities, you take on the mindset of a hardcore, Thanksgiving dinner warrior.

 

3. Your game plan? EAT ALLLLLL THE FOOD.

 

4. When your relatives ask you questions about touchy subjects, such what you want to do with your major after college, you’re like…

 

5. …or about your love life.

 

6. When your family has questionable judgment when it comes to food, but you have to be polite, so you eat it anyways.

 

7. …Or perhaps you are lucky, and have a family with excellent cooking capabilities.

 

8. When you finally learn to find amusement in your family’s seemingly insensitive comments, rather than take offense.

 

9. …And use that as an excuse to let your crazy self loose.

 

10. Waking up the next day determined to work off the 10 pieces of pumpkin pie you ate the day before.
