Dealing With Your Relatives As Told By Nick Miller

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

Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for all we have and to also sit there and listen to your relatives remind you of what you don’t have. And to listen to them bicker with each other. And to bite your tongue when they start to talk politics.

Basically, family can be a lot to deal with. So here’s how to deal with your relatives, Nick Miller Style.

1. When your grandfather has had one too many and starts to talk about the “good-ole days” compared to this new generation.
