Everyone loves going home for Christmas break and seeing their family. However, we all also kind of hate it. We are bombarded with constant questions, many of which we can't answer. I'm usually lucky and don't hear to many of them but this is only my second Christmas break. As for the rest of you that possibly hear things like this every year, I'm sorry. Hang in there. Christmas break will be over before you know it. Hopefully sharing this with your family will cut back on the questions this year.

1) Have you gained weight?

Don't get me wrong, the answer is probably yes. However, that doesn't mean we need people pointing it out. Gaining weight is unfortunately part of getting older. We're also broke which means we don't eat "healthy" food very often.

2) Do you have a boyfriend?

No. Sorry to disappoint. I don't exactly have time for that right now. Whatever your answer may be to this question, it's never good enough. The failure of answering correctly will lead to this next question.

3) When will you have a boyfriend?

Once again, you probably don't have the right answer to this question. I know I never do. Let's face it, this isn't something we can predict. Relationships come and go and it will happen when it happens.

4) How's school going?

Fine. It's all going fine. Actually that is a major lie and they know it. Obviously you aren't going to tell them the truth but lying takes a lot of effort. That's why we really hate this question.

5) What are you even going to do with that degree?

I don't personally hear this a lot considering I am a psychology major but I know that this can be very annoying. My art major friends probably hear this the most. On their behalf, I'd like if this question was never asked again.

6) Are you sure that is the right choice for your future?

I actually heard something like this recently regarding me taking the semester off from school for the Disney College Program. I can promise it is. I'm pretty sure no one would purposely do something that was bad for their future.

7) How many parties did you go to?

First off, why does this matter? Second off, I'm going to tell you none, no matter what the real answer is. Let's face it, you probably don't actually want the answer to this question. Remember that you were young once too.

8) Do you consider that passing?

I am fully aware my grades aren't ideal this semester, but don't rub it in my face. Try encouraging us. It could end up making a huge difference.

9) Why did you join a sorority?

You don't want the answer because I could go on and on for hours about this. I love my sisters more than anything. Unfortunately this question might lead to another one along the lines of, "How do you say your sorority name?"

10) Are you taking care of yourself?

I'm broke. I'm busy. I'm stressed. However, I'm totally going to tell you that I am. I'm as healthy as can be. Just ignore me coughing in the corner.
