We hate these questions more than homework. *sigh*

10 Questions College Students Are Sick Of Hearing
Google

As a college student, we're always being bombarded with questions that we don't know the answer to, or we just don't want to answer. Our professors are always asking us questions about the class material, which is fine, we're here for a reason, right? Then we go home for break (to finally wind down) and we run into our high school teacher whom we haven't seen in years. Suddenly we're asked a million annoying questions about school. We barely know what we're doing, and now we have to find an answer to these repetitive questions to make it seem like we have it all figured out.

Here are the top ten questions that must be TERMINATED before I rip my hair out:

1. How is college treating you?

It's treating me like I just got hit by a bus, and then it went into reverse and hit me again. I haven't had a decent nights sleep all semester, but for the sake of this conversation, I'm gonna tell you I love it!

2. What are you studying/what's your major?

We know, this is a great conversation starter and why wouldn't you ask us what we're going to college for? But unfortunately we hate this question because we're asked it a million times. So please do us a favor, stop.

3. What do you wanna do with your degree after graduation?

Get a job and obviously (and hopefully) make money so I never have to go back to school and take another final. Until then I'm just gonna keep pretending like I know what I'm doing.

4. How is "dorm life"?

Pros: Party in your room no matter the day of the week, no rules (until you get caught by the RA), and having all your best friends live with you.

Cons: Crappy microwave, shower is always taken (living with 6 girls is rough), and noisy upstairs neighbors who play house music at 3am.

5. Do you have a job at school?

Let's just say theres been days where I've eaten ramen noodles for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

6. Are you staying out of trouble?

This is the nice way of asking "do you party a lot"? Yes, we're college students. Yes, we're absolute animals. No, Aunt Agnes, I'm not going to tell you how fast I can shotgun a beer.

7. Do you study a lot?

Does cramming count? Because in that case, yes, I do study a lot.

8. What are your grades like this semester?

I mean it's the effort that counts...right?

9. Do you like your roommates?

Duh I love my roommates (usually), being alone sucks. I only want to kill them half the time, but the other half we good.

10. What do you do in your free time?

Enough. Said.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
