10 Questions Asked To College Kids At Family Reunions Answered By GIFs​

Holiday reunions are an excuse for family members to be as nosy as can be. And why? Because the 56 likes and comments that Grandma posted throughout various years of your Facebook profile weren't enough to satisfy her knowledge of your life in the last 24 hours. EVERY. DETAIL. MATTERS.

Common Q&A's at Holiday Family Reunions:

1. Have you figured out what you want to do in life?

I have a few dreams and aspirations, but for now, I would like to do that after an extensive amount of sleep deprivation from finals and papers due in the last 3 weeks.

2. Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?

We are currently taking a break. Season 4 of House of Cards is in the making. We will see how it goes in the later months.

3. How is [insert childhood friend’s name here] doing?

Wish I could say. Last I knew, they moved away and started a band.

4. Are you involved in any athletics?

Between running to class, studying for exams, and sleeping, I'm not sure that's possible. Does going to the gym three times a week count? Only the incredible can juggle all these things at once. #bless

5. Have you thought about continuing your education after undergrad?

Yes. Do I know specifically what I might want to concentrate on doing? Absolutely not. It's like finding someone to love and marry. You must choose wisely because it will stay with you for life and it also may be costly.

6. Doesn’t Netflix get boring?

Don't talk about him/her like that. He/she has been very supportive in my weakest moments.

7.You must go out a lot, huh? Tell me about your crazy college experiences!

Well, there are two options: the G-rated and the Unrated.

G-rated - I camped in the library all weekend, never showered, and my diet consisted of Cheetos and Easy Mac.

Unrated - You're too innocent to hear this, Grandma.

8. Did you hear about [insert controversial topic here]?

It had to be said in a media/business/law class or on my social media feed. The only papers that are physically found on campus are the university newspapers with the occasional Wall Street Journal floating around.

9. What did you have to do to get into that sorority/fraternity?

Find a fantastic group of people that would love and support me unconditionally during and after my college years.

10. You look like you enjoy that college food, yes?

Thanks for telling me I've gained weight, Aunt Suzanne.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
