It's finally that time when college students come home for winter break and get to spend time with their families. Since your family hasn't really seen you in a couple months, there are bound to be some questions when you are all reunited. The best part of the holiday season is that your whole extended family is eager to hear about your college experience and has questions readily prepared. All we college students want to do is sleep, eat, and watch Netflix, but unfortunately our family does not care.There is not enough holiday punch that can save you from the dreaded family member questions.
"What is your major again?"
This is the millionth time said family member has asked you this question, and your answer has not changed. Their major is obviously in asking you annoying questions.
"Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend yet?"
No, I don't, but thanks for reminding me. Or if you do, prepare for another hundred questions about the person, so it's probably best to just answer no. Then if you're really lucky, your Nana will start trying to set you up with her friends grandson.
"What are your grades?"
You're passing, that's all that matters, right? C's get degrees fam.
"Do you drink?"
You know I do, I know I do, but you asked this question anyways and we are both just going to pretend I don't and smile.
"What do you want to do when you graduate?"
What is this "after college" thing you speak of? I came here for some Christmas cookies and ham and I am honestly feeling so attacked right now.
"Do you ever go to the gym?"
This is their casual way to hint that you've gained the Freshman 15. No, I hate the gym, and I love pizza and mozzarella sticks. Now excuse me while I go help myself to seconds.
"Why do you look so tired?"
Yes, thank you for noticing the bags under my eyes. Now please leave so I can go back to bed.
"When do you go back to school?"
As long as you keep asking these questions, not soon enough.
Oh family. This year during the holidays be sure to prepare your answers of "good, no, yes, okay, and fine," to dull the roar of never ending questions. 'Tis the season to be interrogated. Welcome back college students!
