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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
