As much as you're probably looking forward to going home for the long holiday weekend and seeing your family again, once you're back it's a different story. The lack of college friends and college parties mixed with your family non-stop questioning you is enough to drive you mad. But don't worry, here's how to keep your cool this Thanksgiving and survive the holiday weekend!

1. Don't Revert

2. Do Your Own Laundry

3. Master Changing The Subject

4. Meet Up With Friends

5. Don't Drop Bombshells

6. Laugh Through It
