I don’t think I’m alone when it comes to the awkward, hard-to-have conversations with the fam on holidays. There are just certain topics you would like to avoid with your extended family because holidays are a way to escape from classes and you don’t want them to truly know how you’re doing because you are most likely a mess. The heavy school loads every week, immense stress weighing on your shoulders, and your non existent social life unless you count your alcoholic consumption on the weekends will not make you sound like the golden child of the family. So personally, I get a little frazzled when I’m asked the questions….
1. "How is school going?"
Oh top of my class really, all A's every day.
I'm quite impressed it doesn't get better than me Aunt Shirley.
2. "Sooo dating any boys lately??"
Boys??
Oh yeah Ma all the frat boys wanna get to know me.
The athletes?? Yeah they're blowing up my phone with compliments.
Hockey players here are the most respectable, sweetest people i've ever met!!
Hahahah I love boys and all the dates I go on with them...
3. "Staying out of trouble right??"
Oh yeahhhh
Minus the drinking every weekend, in between classes and in the shower yeah no trouble for me
I mean I haven't been caught yet
4. "Making lots of friends and meeting new people?"
Uhhhh yes, I have joined about 17 clubs and i'm so well known and liked here....
Jk school is hell Uncle Joe I have no time to see real people I sit under my covers contemplating taking the L on every exam or watching netflix or both
What's a friend?
5."I'm so proud of you honey"
Proud? Excuse me proud??
Wow, of what!? I do about nothing with my life haha I'm failing almost everything, I haven't told you guys I want to drop out (of life).
