10 Questions Every College Student Gets Asked
Quotesgram

Every year, those of us lucky enough to have the title of college student get asked the same questions over and over and over again. Summer breaks, winter breaks, random trips home or even to the hairdresser.

1. What year are you?

Not an awful question, though the second you get asked it, you know that more of the following questions are coming.

2. Where do you go?

Insert school here. And if it's a small school, be prepared to explain where it is. If you're at home, also be prepared to state how far away your school is.

3. What's your major?

Always a good time when you start getting down to the nitty gritty, especially if you have to explain what your major is because no one knows. Cue up question number 4...

4. What are you going to do with that?

If you don't have a plan for what you're going to do after college, you better have an answer ready because everyone wants to know. You can feel the aura of judgement when they tell you "Oh, you'll figure it out."

5. Where are you living?

When you answer your dorm building or the area you are living, you might as well be speaking Chinese. They've never seen campus, they probably have never been in the area, so you just answer in a dorm, an apartment, a house, etc.

6. Do you have any roommates?

They are never going to meet them, so you never know how to explain them, but you do your best, or you can be lucky and not have any to avoid the question all together.

7. Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?

This question is the worst because in today's world, college relationship titles are more complicated than that math course you got a C in. If the answer is yes, congrats for you, those of us who don't have a significant other are just reminded of our singleness.

8. How's your schedule this year?

Do you want to know all my classes or how early I get up? You don't usually want to go into detail, so you just either say it's good or alright.

9. Are you excited to go back?

Well, in the middle of this conversation right now, yes. But most of the time you are always excited to go back to school because that is where your friends are and the fun is. Just don't think about the exams right now.

10. Do you like it at school?

Well, do I like having to go to class most of the time? Not really, but if you made the right school choice, you don't just like it at school, you love it!

No matter how annoying these questions are over the years of your college education, cherish them while it lasts because college won't last forever.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
