We all have dreaded it, the big family get-togethers where family from all over the state come together and harass you about your life. Thanksgiving is just the pre-torture ritual, just wait till Christmas gets here. Here are 5 things we all heard this past thanksgiving that had us contemplating whether we could still call in and request to work.

1) "So, how is school going?"

As college students we always mentally prepare for this answer all year long. "Oh, how is school?" and we all answer "fine" or "It's good." However we are all thinking, "Well I am starving and sick of the school food, my roommate is annoying, I am possibly failing three classes and I have no money." So, when you are presented with this question at the next family reunion, say at Christmas, stick with the "it's fine" approach.

2) "How are your grades this semester?"

I think this picture is so relatable I want to cry. The moment you sit down at that table, your parents bombard you with this dreadful question. As the semester comes to a close, this question will be asked almost daily until you give them a solid answer. My advice, just stick with, "Oh they are fine, thanks." If they continue to ask for specifics, just make up an excuse to go to the bathroom.

3) When your parents ask if you have a boyfriend yet.

Ah, this lovely question. For the college students who are actually more focused on their education than their dating lives, this question absolutely drives us nuts. When my family or friends ask me this, I just respond with, "I don't have time to date, with school and everything." Just remember, not having that special person is perfectly ok!

4) When you get up for seconds and your parents ask you if you really need seconds.

The problem with Thanksgiving is the amount of food that is presented for us to eat. We all have that sense of insecurity and silently ask ourselves if we really need that extra buttered roll? The answer is yes, take that roll and enjoy it. Thanksgiving isn't the time or place for diets, this is a no judgment Holiday. Go back for seconds and even thirds. You will get no judgment from me.

5) When you pull out your homework and your parents ask you why are you being rude?

Life does not stop just because we are on Thanksgiving break. It's not uncommon for professors to assign homework over the extended break. And for those who get stuck with assignments from more than one professor, you have my sympathy. In some ways, homework is just a part of your everyday work schedule. If you don't do it, then you will fail. SO go ahead and whip that homework out and get your stuff done.

Overall, Thanksgiving can be just an annoyance but keep in my mind no matter how crazy your family may seem they mean well. Let me know what were some crazy questions you were asked from your family over Thanksgiving.
