It has come to my attention that now that I'm a college freshman and no longer live at home, I will become the prime target of all those questions relatives love to ask at family gatherings. And this Thursday is Thanksgiving, which means a family gathering. I'm likely going to be bombarded with questions, so in the interest of not spending 85% of Thanksgiving answering questions, I've compiled a list of answers to what I'm sure will be frequently asked questions.

How old are you now? Eighteen. Yes, I know I've gotten so old. The fact that I'm a legal adult now makes me extremely uncomfortable.

Wow, you've gotten so tall! That's not a question and no, I really haven't. Frodo Baggins would look like a giant compared to me.

Did you cut your hair? Mm-hmm. A while ago, actually.

What are you studying? Theatre...for now.

How is school going? It's definitely going. I may or may not be counting the seconds until the semester is over.

What have you been up to besides schoolwork? Besides schoolwork? Oh, geez. I don't know. Uh...I spent most of the semester rehearsing for a play.

Well, what about when you weren't at rehearsal? Literally nothing. I don't have a life outside of school and rehearsal. Sorry to disappoint.

Do you have a boyfriend? Ha. Haha. Hahaha. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Ahem. Um, sorry. No.

That can't be true. Surely the boys are falling all over you. Well, when you're always rehearsing or doing schoolwork, you don't have much time to socialize. I think I've spoken to maybe two boys since I've started college and those conversations lasted about thirty seconds.

What do you want to do after college? Dude, I don't even know what I want to do tomorrow.
