10 Questions Every College Senior Is Asked

Being a senior in college can be a lot of fun. You're 21, you have your major figured out, you know (kinda) what you want to do. Life is good for you. Except, when you go home for a weekend, and EVERYONE starts asking you the dreaded questions. The ones you don't worry about when you're with your friends. The questions about your future.

Here are 10 questions that I have been asked, and that you will be asked, and that you should be prepared to answer.

1. What are you doing once you graduate?

2. Do you have a job?

3. Where are you going to live?

4. Don't you know that is an expensive city?

5. Who are you dating?

6. If you're single, how are you going to have kids before you're 30?

7. Are you graduating on time?

8. Here, let me look up some jobs for you!! Won't this be fun?

9. You should really stay home. Won't you miss your family?

10. Are you too busy partying to go to class?

Here were my answers:

1. Working at a job, aka the whole reason I am in college....

2. No. If I did I would have told you when you asked what I'm doing post-grad.

3. Wherever I get a job...

4. Yes, I know Seattle, NYC, D.C. and all the other cities I want to live in are expensive. No, I am not worried, I will be fine.

5. No one. Because I don't want to and I also have no idea where I am going to be in two months.

6. Uh, well I don't want kids and if I did I wouldn't be having them on your timeline.

7. Yes, and if I wasn't that would be OK too.

8. No. It won't. Because I have been looking up jobs. I appreciate you wanting to help, but I've got this. If I need help I will ask.

9. Yes I am going to miss my family. But I also need to go experience the world. They understand, and they also will support me in whatever I do.

10. No. Just because I go to OU doesn't mean I spend every single day drinking. Please stop assuming that we have nothing better to do.

OK, so I didn't say those things exactly, I'm too worried about hurting people's feelings. But I was asked those questions, and you might be asked the same thing. Just know, that even though you're going to be asked these things a million times, people are coming from a good place, even though it is more annoying than walking down Mill Street during Fest while sober.

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?

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
