Oh Thanksgiving dinner, the time where families gather and enjoy some delicious turkey while catching up with relatives. It's all fun and games until you are involved in the conversation. Some relatives will point out your change in appearance or ask you personal questions that you don't want to answer. For all the college students out there, your family and friends will want to know all about your college experience. Unless your an angel, some of your secrets may be revealed. Be careful and think about what you say, because you don't want to be a dead meat this Thanksgiving. Here is a list of phrases friends and family may say, so be prepared.
1. You need to start thinking of a major, you can't just go undeclared forever
2. Any cute boys/girls in college?
3. So you're telling me we evolved from apes?
4. You lost so much weight, did you lose your meal card or something?
5. So you're passing all your classes, right?
6. I heard college parties nowadays are crazier than ever, you don't party, right?
7. By the way, did you get any scholarships?
8. Maybe you should stick to being a teacher or go to law school instead
9. What's your GPA?
10. What have you learned in college?
11. We know hormones are crazy, but remember to stay safe kid
12. You're vegan now, what else is new?
13. Are you in debt?
14. Have you gotten any internships?
15. If this college thing doesn't work out, you can always work with me
16. You are looking a little plump, the dining hall must be treating you real well
17. Why did you block me on Snapchat, we want to see what you're up to
18. Dang, you look different, are you sure you're doing fine?
19. We are counting on you, don't let us down
20. You still have the $1000 dollars I gave you?
There will always be more questions and comments outside of what I have listed, so be ready to think on the balls of your feet. In the end, however, have fun because family is family. The awkward moments will pass and you will survive Thanksgiving dinner one way or another.
