11 Things College Students Don't Want To Be Asked Over These Holiday Breaks
Friends

All college students know the pain of the 100 question game when they go back home for Thanksgiving or Christmas break. It's not normal questions it's those people that try to be undercover detectives that ask the questions we don't want to answer. So to everyone out there, here are the 10 questions that college students do not want to be asked 1,000 times when they're on their Holiday breaks.

1. How's school going?

I'm a broke college student taking 18 credit hours and working two jobs, I'm drowning in papers and exams, it's not fun. But to make it seem like I'm not crazy I'll tell you that I love it and everything is great!

2. What is your major?

You smile and tell them with excitement but then they just keep asking... So you give up!

3. Oh, really? What do you plan on doing with that?

Whatever will get me a ton of money!

4. Are you making A's this semester?

This is where you start laughing so you don't cry. Because who really knows how that exam before break really went...

5. Are you set to graduate on time?

I hope so. But in, all honesty, I'll take all the prayers you can give me.

6. Do you have any internships set up for this summer?

I honestly don't know what I'm doing tomorrow morning and I need a job that pays, so no. But for the sake of our conversation, I'll say I'm still trying to find the best one for me!

7. Are you and *insert ex's name here* still together?

This is a question you don't ask, because honestly if they still care about them it's like pouring alcohol on a cut. PAINFUL!

8. Well, have you met anyone new?


No, this person sitting beside me is just a random stranger I picked up on the way here!

9. What happened to *insert ex-friend's name here*?

You really don't want to ask this question because trust me a fire will light inside of them and they will be ranting for hours. But we'll leave it short and sweet.

10. Are you keeping track of your spending?

I'm glad you ask. The school is keeping a close look on my money!

11. What have you been up to lately? I haven't seen you post many pictures on Facebook!

School, sleep, work, eat, sleep, eat, sleep, sleep, school, work, sleep, sleep, etc. You know just the normal college stuff.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
