Let me set the scene for you: you're at a family gathering and there's a ton of people there. Aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, family friends, neighbors, party crashers and the like. Sure, it's great to see all of these people since you have not seen them in a while and they'll all want to spend time with you, which is fine. However, this party is going to be different than parties past because you're a college student now. Your cousin who has graduated gives you a knowing look as the fifth person in a row approaches you to talk about dorm life and your brother looks on in fear as he accepts that this is his fate next year. By the end of the night, you will have answered the same questions at least 50 times. It's impossible to avoid these inquiries, but we have to recite them at least once a month to someone who is curious about campus food or our favorite professor.
1. What's your major?
2. Why aren't you studying business?
3. Do you like your classes?
4. What's your favorite class?
5. Who is your favorite professor?
6. Do you have a lot of homework?
7. How difficult are your classes?
8. What are you going to do after you graduate?
9. Do you have an internship?
10. How bad are your student loans?
11. How is dorm life?
12. Do you like your roommate(s)?
13. Is your room big enough?
14. Are you studying hard?
15. Are you dating anyone?
16. Oh, c'mon, there has to be someone special in your life!
17. Are you sleeping enough?
18. Do you drink a lot of coffee?
19. How are your grades?
20. What's your GPA?
21. What's the social life like at school? [Wink, wink.]
Not as booze-filled as you might think.
