Ah, it's the most wonderful time of the year. The weather is cooler, the finals are upon us, and you have to reunite with your family. While going home for the holidays is a great time, especially since you've totally gained 10 pounds eating Chick-fil-a four times a week this semester and could use someone to force a vegetable or two on your plate, but this also means you're going to be bombarded with questions you probably don't have the answer to.

And even though everyone has your best intentions at heart, you're going to have to force a smile or two to get through the interrogation portion of the holidays. Luckily, you were prepared this year and you have plenty of time to prep your answers for the neverending change of life questions upon you this holiday season.

1. How did you do on your finals?

2. What's your major again?

7. Do you think you're going to get a job with that degree? The job market is tough right now.
