Winter break has arrived. Finally, a few weeks off of school to regroup, relax and forget everything you have learned over the past 16 weeks. The best part? Christmas, of course. This red and green themed holiday centered around presents and cookies is a time we have been looking forward to, ever since the minute Halloween ended (no offense, Thanksgiving). Although Christmas is a time of love and delicious food, you can't avoid being asked the worst questions by your distant family members. Sound familiar?

1. What are you majoring in?

Okay, so, let me stop you there. First of all, I don't know. Second of all, even if I did know, it'll probably change another five times before I even graduate. My major is the last thing on my mind - right now all I want to think about is ham, eggnog and what presents under the tree are mine.

2. What classes are you taking next year?

Back to the school question. Let's just eliminate school-related questions as a whole. There is no way you are interested in the specifics of my schedule next semester for I only see you three times a year on major holidays. I'd rather speak about anything else, really.

3. Still no boyfriend/girlfriend this Christmas?

I have no comment on this. Why would someone ask this?

4. Where are you working now?

Back to the idea of holidays - ham, eggnog, and presents. Does my employment fit into these three categories? I am off work, off school, and essentially responsibility-less until the first week of January. Therefore, I will continue to live in this ignorant bliss and gracefully change the subject of this conversation.

5. You look different, what's different?

Let's see here... I am a walking pile of stress, lack of sleep, and fast food. I look different because 'Freshman 15' is real (and I never lost the weight), I am too broke to buy anything more than a McChicken, and I haven't brushed my hair in almost a week. Let's talk about something else, did you see the latest on the Kardashians?

Happy Holidays.
