It’s Christmas time again! After finishing a hellish week of exams and getting to do pretty much nothing for a month, you also get to receive the third degree from distant relatives and neighbors alike. Here are the eight worst questions you could be asked this Christmas so you can start to prepare in advance.

1. How did your final exams go?

If I wanted to know, I already would have logged in to check my grades. The fact that I haven’t gotten an email saying that I've been put on academic probation means that I passed everything…I think.

2. What are you planning on doing over break?

I literally don’t know what I’m doing tomorrow let alone over this 6 week vacation from school. I will probably be watching some Netflix, possibly hitting the gym, but we’ll see. I am on vacation after all.

3. What are you planning on doing after graduation?

You expect me to know the answer to that when I don’t even know what I’m doing over the next six weeks? Who do you think you’re talking to, Great Aunt Mildred?

4. What do you want for Christmas?

Do you want the honest answer, or…? Ideally, I would like all of the things that I could have bought during the school year but sacrificed so that I would have money to eat and go out.

5. Anyone special in your life?

If by “anyone special” you mean my dog, then yes, as a matter of fact there is. If you’re talking about anyone else, I don’t really know what to tell ya.

6. How do you feel about this controversial issue?

Well seeing that I just walked (or ran) into the next room, I’m hoping that you will take the hint that I don’t want to get into an argument with you this year.

7. How is the job search going?

It’s going. I’m still unemployed, so at least I’ve got consistency going for me.

8. When are you planning on settling down?

Well considering that I am 21 and am still single, I’d give it at least 10 years.

Merry Christmas!
