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.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

University of Southern California

4070

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1588

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

Washington College

CSU

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

2729

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
