12 Questions You're Avoiding This Thanksgiving
@realgrumpycat

Thanksgiving is always filled with turkey, stuffing, pie, and awkward questions. These are the 12 questions you are probably going to be avoiding around the dinner table this Thanksgiving.

1. How's school going?

Finals are approaching. You have one week off to mentally prepare for how bad finals are going to mess up your life. You do not need to remember school even exists. So, stop asking mom, it's going bad!

2. What's your major?

It’s still the same thing it’s always been. And yes it still sucks.

3. Do you have a boyfriend?

No, I don’t. Boys suck, but thanks for reminding me of my loneliness this holiday season Grandma.

4. Where is all your money going?

Why do you need to know how many cookout trays I’m buying a month. It’s a lot okay stop judging me. Food is essential to living, you know.

5. What's your GPA?

I won’t lie, dad, it’s not good. Remember grades don’t determine someone’s worth.

6. Have you made any friends yet?

What do you want? Me to get good grades or make friends. You’re sending me mixed signals.

7. Do you know how to cook yet?

Do spaghetti-o's and ramen count?

8. What show are you currently binging on Netflix?

As in pick just one show cause I’m currently invested in about 10.

9. When are you graduating?

If I’m honest, I have no idea. I’ll be keeping you posted as I learn more.

10. Why haven't you graduated yet?

I don’t really have an explanation but I would just like to say that no one is perfect.

11. Do you have a job or internship lined up?

As in, entering the real world? No thanks maybe next year.

12. What are you planning on doing after you graduate?

I don’t even know what I’m planning on doing next week. Life will work out how it's supposed to right?

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
