Family gatherings for the holidays have their ups and downs. It's nice to see everyone especially those relatives you haven't seen in forever. However, there are always those relatives that hound you with questions they are inevitably going to ask. Here are some questions you been avoiding answering all year.

1. Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend yet? This is the staple question every relative asks at every family gathering. They are patiently waiting for you to bring a significant other so they can ask them a million and one questions too.

2. How's school going? You have to decide if you want to be realistic and say how you are drowning in homework and papers and balancing school, work, and a social life. But you usually end up taking the easy route and saying it's going well.

3. Do you have an internship/job yet? Growing up is hard and no one wants to do it. Of course your relatives want you to succeed, but they can be a bit pushy about it and might not realize how hard it is to land an internship or job.

4. How are your grades? You would think once you enter college you wouldn't have to share your grades with everyone anymore, but that's false. Luckily, there are no report card your mom can whip out, so if your grades aren't looking too good you can slip a little white lie.

5. Have you gained weight? You can always count on grandma for being blunt and pointing out your flaws. But yes, living off of a meal plan that consists of fried food and sweets has taken a toll. Plus stress eating over being stresses is the go-to, and going out on the weekends can do some damage too.
