If you're a college student you understand the struggle of coming home. The packing, the traveling, and the worst part, the questions. The endless stream of questions that everyone asks. You are constantly bombarded with questions by your parents, aunts, neighbors, family friends, local mailman, etc… So the idea of coming home after a while isn't a great one because you know the questions are coming. Here are the 10 questions you know are coming when you come home from college and the sarcastic mental responses.

1. How's school?!

- It’s school, I go to class, I eat crappy food, I cry a little, it's all great.

2. How are your classes?

- My professor secretly hates me and won’t respond to my emails and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have to retake the class next semester but ya classes are going amazing.

3. Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend yet?

- No if I was dating someone I probably wouldn't be as miserable as I am right now.

4. Why don't you have a boyfriend/girlfriend yet?

- Maybe it's because I'm ugly, I don't know you tell me why no one finds me attractive.

5. Is it fun living in (insert your location)?

- Ya it's a great time, I stay on campus 95% of the time and the only reason I leave is to get milk and coffee pods so the Walgreens down the street is nice.

6. What do you do on the weekends?

- I try not to think about all the work I'm going to have to do Sunday night while I hangout with people that don't make me hate my life.

7. Do you have any friends?

- Yup they're the only reason I still somewhat enjoy going to school.

8. Are you thinking about transferring?

- I thought about dropping out all together but I'm already to deep into my college career so probably not.

9. What are you doing with the rest of your life?

- I have no idea, and I probably won’t know until about 6 months after graduation when the loan payments roll in and I'm forced to find a job.

10. Do you think (insert random cousin) would like it there?

- They’re 10 years old, instead of trying to find them a college to go to tell them to actually do their 10 minutes worth of homework so instead of getting a $15K scholarship they can get $20K; just for writing down definitions.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.
