10 Questions You're Tired Of Being Asked At Thanksgiving
pretty52.com

Thanksgiving is a time to sit down with your family and catch up on all of the latest family news and drama. There is tons of food, laughter, and good family spirit. It's all fun and games until all eyes start to rest upon you. Yes, you—the college student in the family that everyone tends to stalk on social media and then degrades you with questions at every family get together. Aren't the holidays wonderful?

Here are 10 questions that every college student hates being asked at Thanksgiving:

1. Are you dating anyone?

The first cut is the deepest and ouch, that one hurt. Thanks again, Uncle Richard, for reminding me of the single life.

2. How do you like school?

About as much as I like sitting here answering these questions is what I'd like to say. Instead of telling the truth, I'll just say that I love it and everything is going great.

3. What's your major?

Although I have only told you every single holiday, my major is Journalism. Yes, I know you don't care and I also know that you are going to ask again at Christmas.

4. And exactly what are you going to do with that?

I don't know, honestly. Cry? Maybe. Drop out of school? Debatable. I'm just trying to graduate without having grey hair.

5. How are your grades?

*Chugs nearest alcoholic drink* Cs get degrees, grandma. *Gets disapproving look* Uh, let's remember that at least we all have our health...right?

6. Do you go out a lot?

Only every time I fail a test, embarrass myself, or forget to go to the gym. So no, I don't go out...

7. Is the food good at your school?

Hahahahaha. Let's take a moment to realize that this is a nice way of asking "have you gained weight?" and the answer to that is yes.

8. So what do you do in all of your free time?

First off, what is free time and can you use it in a sentence? Second, all I can manage to do is sleep anymore.

9. Wait, how soon until you graduate?

Somehow, not soon enough. Before I can feel my eyes start to roll, I pleasantly reply with two years.

10. Have you looked into any internships?

And now we go back to square one about my poor choice in job markets...

Well guys, Thanksgiving isn't all bad, at least there is free food. If you ever start to feel bad about your answers, or lack thereof, to these questions just remember we are all in the same sinking ship!

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

bruce springsteen album cover born in the usa

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.
