3 Ways To Avoid Answering Those Annoying Questions At Thanksgiving

The holidays can be hard, especially when you get together with all of those relatives that you never talk to because you hate them, or you just never talk to them, whatever. I've compiled some helpful hints to help get you through this holiday season without having to tell your entire life story to all of your annoying relatives and you can enjoy your meals in peace.

1) Deflect and/or Insult

The ever famous "Thanksgiving clap back" is the easiest and most effective way to avoid answering those questions. These can be tricky, however, because the opportunity has to present itself. You can't force a clap back on your aunt for asking if you want more potatoes. If you can't insult based off of the question asked, just deflect it by asking another question or asking the person next to you the same question.

2) Take a huge bite of food and chew slowly

Do this in the hopes that someone will strike up a conversation and the question-asker will get distracted and forget they ever asked, or get distracted long enough that you can leave and eat your dinner in the bathroom.

3) Die

This is the only sure fire way to never have to answer questions from relatives during Thanksgiving again. Also, thank you to Fiona's father for properly showing how to die.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

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.

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.
