10 Questions Every College Student Gets Asked
Quotesgram

Every year, those of us lucky enough to have the title of college student get asked the same questions over and over and over again. Summer breaks, winter breaks, random trips home or even to the hairdresser.

1. What year are you?

Not an awful question, though the second you get asked it, you know that more of the following questions are coming.

2. Where do you go?

Insert school here. And if it's a small school, be prepared to explain where it is. If you're at home, also be prepared to state how far away your school is.

3. What's your major?

Always a good time when you start getting down to the nitty gritty, especially if you have to explain what your major is because no one knows. Cue up question number 4...

4. What are you going to do with that?

If you don't have a plan for what you're going to do after college, you better have an answer ready because everyone wants to know. You can feel the aura of judgement when they tell you "Oh, you'll figure it out."

5. Where are you living?

When you answer your dorm building or the area you are living, you might as well be speaking Chinese. They've never seen campus, they probably have never been in the area, so you just answer in a dorm, an apartment, a house, etc.

6. Do you have any roommates?

They are never going to meet them, so you never know how to explain them, but you do your best, or you can be lucky and not have any to avoid the question all together.

7. Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?

This question is the worst because in today's world, college relationship titles are more complicated than that math course you got a C in. If the answer is yes, congrats for you, those of us who don't have a significant other are just reminded of our singleness.

8. How's your schedule this year?

Do you want to know all my classes or how early I get up? You don't usually want to go into detail, so you just either say it's good or alright.

9. Are you excited to go back?

Well, in the middle of this conversation right now, yes. But most of the time you are always excited to go back to school because that is where your friends are and the fun is. Just don't think about the exams right now.

10. Do you like it at school?

Well, do I like having to go to class most of the time? Not really, but if you made the right school choice, you don't just like it at school, you love it!

No matter how annoying these questions are over the years of your college education, cherish them while it lasts because college won't last forever.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
