11 Questions To Expect From Grandma Over Thanksgiving Break
stupiddope.com

Midterms are over, the semester is almost finished and us college students are ready for some turkey! With Thanksgiving slowly approaching, this means we get to go home; back to our own bed, our beloved dogs and our crazy relatives. For some of us, it will be the first trip home since move-in day, which feels like ages ago. As a jaded sophomore, I can guarantee that your first debut home after almost three months away will be an interesting one, and grandma will have A LOT to say….



1. “Do you have a BOYFRIEND?”

“no.” *cries inside*


2. “What do you and your friends do for fun?”

“uh… ya know… scrabble… some yahtzee…..”


3. “Any cute boys up there?”

“Yes, grandma. Can we cool it with the boys...”


4. “Are you eating enough?”

“Well, considering these jeans are a little more snug than I remember, yes, I think I am good in that department.”


5. “That’s all you’re eating? Here, have more.”

“GRANDMA, I’M GOOD!!!”


6. “So, who’s your boyfriend?”

“ -__________-“



7. “How’s your roommate, Ashley?”

“It’s Alli, grandma.”


8. “Look, she grew!”

“Nope, I’m still the same grandma. You just shrunk, like every year.”


9. “Why don’t you ever call me?”

“Cuz, I’m too busy playing yahtzee”


10. “Here, take this” *shoves a $100 dollar bill in your hand before mom can see*

“YAAAAAAAAAAAAS”


11. “Do you miss me?”

“Of course grandma, of course.”


No matter how much we try, we can't not love our grandma. You can't blame her for trying to be "hip."

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
