Here Come The Holidays And The Holiday Questions
playbuzz.com

So, the holidays are coming. You know what else is coming? Nosey family members and a mini interview about your life. College students in particular experience this almost every year, and I'm here to let you know the questions I, and many other millennials, do not want to answer.

1. Are you seeing anyone special?!


.... No.

2. Aren't you still in high school?

Do I really look like this? Or is this just a subtle way of asking what year of college I'm in, since you don't remember for the 3rd year in a row?

3. What are you doing after you graduate?


BREAKING: I didn't know last year and I still don't know this year.

4. What's your major?


What do you know, I just forgot it as of this moment... it's almost as if I don't want to talk about this.

5. What did you think of the election?


I am really not sure why anyone would think this is a remotely good question to ask at a supposedly relaxing dinner meant to enable you and your family to spend quality time together.

... Quality time.

6. What happened to that guy/girl you were....

It's all fun and games until someone's sobbing over the wine bottles.

7. You're working? Doing what?


No, I don't actually work, I just call it that to make myself feel good. I don't actually do anything. Ever. It's the lazy millennial life.

8. When are you moving out?

Will you be financing my apartment? And my student loans? And my cell phone bill? And the price of gas? And my car insurance? ...No? Alrighty then. Just checking.

9. You're already XX age?


Um... yes? That's what happens? With every year of holidays I get a year older and feel more and more exhausted with each passing year?

10. Have you gained weight?

No comment, although you're the one on your third plate of food. There's a scale in the bathroom.

11. Do you still workout?

Occasionally.

12. Why aren't you going into the ____ field?

We did this already. I'm not doing it again.

13. Your cousin got married/got promoted/has a full time job/has two kids/moved out/has their entire life together.


And maybe, just maybe, one day I can say the same.

But that day is not today. And you will not be the first person I inform.


Have fun surviving the holidays!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
