25 Questions College Seniors Are Dreading Being Asked On Thanksgiving
Huntington Post

It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for… Thanksgiving Break. Midterms just drained you of all emotion and brain cells and you’re ready to stuff your face with... well stuffing. It’s also the moment we’ve all been dreading, family interrogating you about your college life while you’re just trying to dig into casseroles, turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, gravy and cranberry sauce. Here are some questions college Seniors can dread and prepare for on Thanksgiving

1. When are you graduating?

"Hopefully never. Just kidding, hopefully this semester..."

2. What’s your game plan after you graduate?

Probably party for a week, cry, eat my weight in potatoes, morn my college years then give adulting a shot and get a real job while trying not to have a Brittney Spears meltdown.

3. Has college turned you into an alcoholic?

Before I answer that, what qualifies as one sitting?

5. Have you received any job offers yet?

No, apparently a Bachelor's Degree isn't that impressive anymore. Yes, I'm terrified to start a real person job.

6. Are you going to grad school?

Grammy, I sure hope so—I applied to 10 of them.

7. What are you going to Grad School for?

Mostly to increase my chances of getting a job and fattening my future paycheck while digging myself deeper in debt.

8. Have you applied to Grad School?

If you ask about Grad School again I’m seriously going to throw up.

9. Have you taken the GRE yet?

Do you mean did I devote weeks of my social life, brain cells and soul to studying verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning and analytical writing and taking a four hour "General Test" ? Yes, Yes I did creepy uncle bobby and now my brain is broken.

10.But what job can you get with that major?

Well Aunt Sassy, the one I want thank you very much.

11. Where are you going to live?

Hopefully into a nice apartment near a beach and not back in with my parents.

12. So have your classes been hard?

Dad, Try taking business calc without a calculator

13. How are your grades?

Like so good Cousin Kate. It's almost delicious.

14. What’s your GPA?

I'm honestly afraid to look.

15. Do you have a boyfriend?

Yes Grandma. He is blonde, athletic, fluffy and so cute. His name is Charlie. He's a dog.

16. When are you and so & so getting married?

On our wedding day, whenever that comes, sometime in the future, whenever he proposes, never, I'm gonna die alone


17. Are you going to have kids soon?

No Grandpa, I can barely keep my phone screen not cracked for a month


18. How much debt are you in?

Help me, I'm poor.


19. What do you plan on doing with your life?

Living, Traveling, Changing the World, Eating, Stuff like that, I don't know


20. Are you stressed?

Stressed is an understatement, at this point i'm lucky if I only have 3 panic attacks a day

21. Are you scared?

Almost as scared as I was while watching the election polls


22. Are you ready to be done and graduate from college?

I am so ready to graduate but i'm going to miss my friends, my school and all the memories made here.


23. Wait why are you crying?

Because Mom, I literally can't answer any of these questions because I don't know. It is absolutely terrifying and I just want a second serving so please pass the sweet potato casserole without asking me what I plan on doing after graduation because I don't even know what I'm having for breakfast tomorrow and I really don't want to get tears on my cornbread


24. Who'd you vote for?

*world war 3 starts at the dinner table*

Let's hope your great aunt doesn't ask this so we can all eat pie in peace and avoid this...

25. Do you want seconds?


No matter what questions your family hounds you with on Thanksgiving, just remember they are asking because they care, they love you and they are proud of you. Hang in there and get thirds because you deserve it.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
