As college freshman flock home for summer vacation, people are curious about how their first year of college went. Here are some of the most commonly heard and most annoying things that college students wish you would stop asking.
1. How was your first year? Did you make any friends?
While this is a genuine question that you don't mind answering two or three times, after the 10th time you are done answering this question and wish people would just check your Facebook feed.
2. Did you do well this year? What is your GPA?
Coming right out of the finals haze your grades are not the first thing that you want to talk about.
3. Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?
Even if you did end your freshman year with a significant other this is not exactly the topic that you want to discuss with one of your high school teachers or a distant aunt.
4. You must already miss it.
Coming up for a response to this is difficult, especially since you miss the freedom and your friends. But a nice home cooked meal is also spectacular. Coming up with a response that both you are comfortable with and a response they want to hear is a little tricky.
5. Having to hear the "When I was in college stories."
These stories range from your grandparents talking about how different their college experience was and how much has changed since they graduated. While they are nice to hear once or twice, after the third time it is just a little annoying and fairly boring.
