\nOdds are, you won\u2019t be too involved in the planning process if you\u2019ve been away at
\nschool for the last 2 months. However, that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t make life easier for those who are
\nplanning. A simple \u201cWhat can I bring to Thanksgiving?\u201d text can go a long way. If you\u2019re a broke
\ncollege kid, don\u2019t worry because the response is going to go one of two ways. Either they tell
\nyou \u201cDon\u2019t worry about, we\u2019re just happy you\u2019re coming.\u201d Or they ask you to bring something
\nsmall like a drink. Either way, you\u2019re going to look like a rockstar for just asking if your family
\nneeds help planning.<\/p>\n
\nThis is probably the easiest place to help and look good at Thanksgiving. Simple things like
\noffering to get someone a drink or help mash some potatoes are going to show your Aunt Linda
\nthat maybe you are a decent kid after all. If you can somehow manage to help prep\/cook the
\nturkey without messing it up, your family will literally think you\u2019re some sort of king. But just
\nlike planning, just offering to help is going to go a very long way.<\/p>\n
\nThanksgiving is a time for family to talk and catch up with each other. This can be tough with
\nkids running around while their parents are trying to talk to their cousin who
\nthey haven\u2019t seen since Uncle Gene got married. Take the load off of them and entertain the
\nkids while the parents hangout and watch football. The appreciation you\u2019ll receive for this will
\nbe endless.<\/p>\n
\nThis is probably the easiest thing to do to be the Thanksgiving all-star you\u2019ve always dreamed of
\nbeing. Just offer to help do dishes or clean up after the kids and you\u2019re guaranteed to thrill the entire
\nfamily, especially when cousin Dylan is passed out in a food coma.<\/p>\n
\nanyone could\u2019ve asked for. Your parents are going to be proud and your extended family is going to
\nwish they had raised a kid as thoughtful as you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
