15 Questions Our Families Will Ask At Thanksgiving

For most of us, this Thanksgiving or Christmas will be the first time all of our extended family will be together, which means you get all the typical questions. The key to surviving? Having your answers already prepared.

1. Do you have a boyfriend or girlfriend?

I have been asked this so many times I can't even wrap my head around it. But this year, my wonderful boyfriend is coming to spend Christmas with my family, so hopefully I don't get that question this year.

2. How is school going?

"It is going great so far!" is usually my response, this is a very broad question which 9 times out of 10, will lead to them asking another question on this list.

3. Picked a major yet?

I will probably answer this question at least 50 times over a span of about 2 hours, and my answer will remain the same.

4. How do you like your roommate?

My roommate is great, we get along great, we are friends. I live in a very small room with her, and we are getting along great so far, especially when we both love Harry Potter.

5. Have you joined any clubs?

Does Netflix count?

6. How are your grades looking?

They're looking good, typical first-semester college Freshman grades. A few horrible things in the beginning, but gradually improving as I get used to the work I have to do.

7. What's the party scene like there? Are you staying out of trouble?

I am staying out of trouble, I promise.

8. How do you like the campus?

It's great, It's very cold and it is starting to snow, and I do not like snow. The campus is beautiful, and will continue to be.

9. Do you have anything planned for next year yet?

I can't even register for classes for next semester till the middle of December, I don't have any concrete plans for next year yet.

10. Have you made any friends yet?

Yes, I have made friends, I will not list all of their names, but yes I am making friends.

11. Do you miss home?

I miss home a lot, but it's getting a little easier. I miss my family and my friends, but it's getting easier.

12. Do you like your classes?

They're mostly just general education classes, but yes I am enjoying them.

13. Have you talked to your professors yet?

I've gone to see most of my professors at least once this semester so far and they have been a huge help.

14. How's school going?

Yes, I know this is in here twice, but only because I will be asked this question more times than I care to admit. Please refer to question 2.

15. You ready to graduate yet?

I've only just begun, I'm nowhere near ready to be done yet. I have so much more to do and I can't wait to get going.

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.
