16 Things College Students Don't Want To Hear
New Creations Boarding School

1. How were finals?

Honestly, they were awful. How else should I respond to that?

2. Did you get any grades back yet?

No. Professors don't want to grade our exams as much as we don't want to take them, hence why my grades won't be up for a long time.

3. Are you going to unpack anytime soon?

Probably not. I don't want to unpack just to have to repack in a month. That's just unnecessary.

4. Why were you out so late?

5. Why can't you stay home for one night?

I'm used to being surrounded by people my age on basically a 24-hour basis. Why should I stay home to watch you go to bed at 9 p.m.?

6. Why do you sleep so late?

Because I turned nocturnal. No, really. Between schoolwork during the week and going out on the weekends, I am really only awake during the night.

7. Watch your language.

8. What do you want for dinner?

Anything. I just ate dining hall food for over three months. I considered it a good day when there wasn't a bug or piece of hair in my meal. If you make me a piece of toast for dinner, I probably won't even be mad.

9. You have to go to Aunt Sally's house on Sunday.

Listen, I'm not really used to this whole "being told what to do" thing, so I won't take it well. If you give me the option of going, maybe I will go. If you tell me I'm going, I most definitely won't.

10. You're not 21.

That's weird, because at school I am. I'm in college. I drink. #HonestyHour

11. My house, my rules.

I'm not here to disrespect you, but your rules are the same rules you had since I was a freshman in high school. I know how to make good decisions (at least, most of the time), so let's put some faith in me!

12. Get off the couch.

I just worked my ass off for 18 weeks straight. No, thank you.

13. Did you just nap for five hours?

Yes, because I slept for two hours last night.

14. Where'd you go? Who'd you go with? What time did you get home? Who was there?

Well, if you don't feel the need to ask me these questions while I'm at school (which is a good thing), then why do you have to ask them now?

15. Why don't you get a job?

I understand that you're tired of hearing me say "I'm broke," but what free time do you think I have at school?

16. When do you go back to school?

I know I'm annoying, but please don't get rid of me that fast. I love being home and spending time with all of the people I love, so thinking about going back to school sucks.

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.

After turning 16, our parents start to push us to get a job and take on some responsibility. We start to make our own money in order to fund the fun we intend on having throughout the year.

Spending five, 10 or even more weeks in the outdoors leading elementary to high school aged kids for a week at a time is unique, to say the least.
