Ahh it's that time of the year again, when 30 of your closest relatives all pile into one house for some forced family bonding time. For college students, this is also the time when you get asked all the wonderful.. annoying and uncomforable questions that you've been dying not to answer. I garentee you will be asked all of these from mulitple people at every family gathering. Happy Holidays!
"How's school going?"
This question may seem like an easy one but actually the answer is quite complicated. There are so many responses, you could lie and explain how everything is perfect and how you haven’t had three mental breakdowns just in November alone, almost change your major for the fourth time and how you’ve decided drinking alone on a Tuesday night is an acceptable pastime.
“What are you majoring in again?”
If you don’t get this question at the holiday party are you even at a family gathering? If you’ve changed it more than four times it's probably a lost cause at explaining that to the family.
“What do you want to do with that?”
This always follows ‘what’s your major again’ and may be the most dreaded question of all time .The conversation leading after it will be just as painful as your Uncle Bob tells you about how his son has had three internships already and is still a freshman. Still trying to figure that one out, thanks for asking though.
“How are your grades?”
C’s get degrees…I mean 4.0 striving for greatness.
“Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend.”
Oh no not again. Why are you all obsessed with my love life?! Aunt Karen will probably tell you her son’s best friends brother is a doctor and even though he’s like 32 he’s still really cute. Whenever a family member asks you anything about your relationship status, just hide under the table until you’re married with two kids.
“Are you eating enough?”
Yes…well no, I don’t know. It’s hard feeding yourself in college. You could tell them that your sleeping and eating schedule is so messed up sometimes you have dinner at 2 am or that you ran out of food a few weeks ago so you ate toast for five days. But I'm fine!
“I have a question about Facebook?”
Here is how you share a picture, Grandma.
