5 Questions Every College Student Is Asked At Thanksgiving That We Are Tired Of Answering

1. How are classes going?

"Oh yeah... they're going GREAT!!"

What you are actually thinking...

Internally screaming about how stressed I am and then I remember that there are still 3 more weeks before my impending death by finals. It's fine, I'll pull through. Everything will actually be great once finals are over. I'll be home for a month, I won't have to do any homework. It'll be GLORIOUS.




2. Have you decided what you want to do when you graduate?

"I'm considering my options right now!"

What you are actually thinking...

No, I actually have no idea what I'll be doing but I'll figure it out eventually, hahaha... I hope. Then I remember that I'm supposed to apply for internships, I wonder when those deadlines are?.... Yikes, I really need to get my life together before they figure out I actually have no idea what I'm doing.



3. Have you been ~dating~ anyone?

"No I've been busy with school work, and other activities on campus"

What you are actually thinking...

Ugh, why does this family constantly remind me of the fact that I am single? I know that they're curious but you can check my social media and see that CLEARLY, I am not dating anyone. Like, if I was dating someone everyone would probably be aware of it in some shape or form. It just makes me wonder if they think the only reason I'm in college is to find a husband. Finding a husband would be cool but homegirl has had good grades, some extracurricular activities, and some experience so she can get a job when she graduates. I ain't got time for that.



4. When will you graduate again?

"I'll be graduating in a year and a half."

What you are actually thinking...

Well, I HOPE I graduate in a year and a half. A lot can change, I could change my major, or maybe win the lottery and not need a degree. I just want that piece of $80 thousand paper that proves I can accomplish something and then frame it in an EXPENSIVE frame so I can show it all to all of the people who walk into my future office.



5. What is your major?

"I'm majoring in ____! I'm really excited about it because it's something I really like doing!"

What you are actually thinking...

Well, I'm PRETTY sure this is my major. It's been the same for a little while now, I would hope you would remember it! That's fine if you don't remember but my major is pretty cool and even though I'm going through all of this stress. I think when I'm done something great will come out of it. This is probably one of the only questions I like answering.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
