10 Questions College Students Are Tired Of Hearing At Thanksgiving
Rusty Scupper

Thanksgiving is arguably one of the best holidays of the season. There's food, family, friends...more food! But with every Thanksgiving comes the dreaded questioning from family members who want to "catch up" and know how you're doing. Frankly, us college kids are quite tired of hearing the same questions and comments every year.

Even if our family members are genuinely interested in our lives and well-being, the only question we're even remotely prepared to answer is how much gravy we're planning to smother our potatoes in.

All jokes aside, Thanksgiving is just the start to the most wonderful time of the year. There are plenty of comedy movies that make fun of family get-togethers during the holidays. You know how it goes; family members looking forward to a perfect Hallmark card reunion and laughing about the good ole' days over an old-fashioned turkey dinner. Everyone knows this isn't how the holidays ever turn out, but let's be thankful for the family and friends (and of course the food) that we get to share the season with. And let's not be too afraid to admit that we actually like answering family members obnoxious question...sometimes.


1. "How's the semester going?"

It'd be better if I could eat Thanksgiving dinner every day of the year.

2. "So...what jobs can you get with your degree?"

The only job I have is to finish everything on my plate.

3. *After explaining potential jobs* "Is that a practical career path?"

We'll cross that bridge when we get there. Pass the pie, please!

4. "Are you seeing anyone?"

You really want to discuss my nonexistent love life right now? We're about to eat.

5. "Are you really going to eat all of that?"

You always told me I was capable of anything.

6. "How are your grades?"

(This is where you take a big bite of stuffing to avoid answering.)

7. "Why do you keep growing up?!"

I know you want me to stay young, but don't you think I'm a little too old to sit at the kid's table?

8. "Yes, but do you have a real job?"

No. I don't.

9. "When are you getting married? I'm not getting any younger!"

I don't even have my life together, I don't think I'm getting married anytime soon.

10. "Is that your third slice of pie?"

Yes, and I'm about to have another.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here.
