30 Questions College Students Are Tired Of Hearing

college-choice-questions2.jpg

Let me set the scene for you: you're at a family gathering and there's a ton of people there. Aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, family friends, neighbors, party crashers and the like. Sure, it's great to see all of these people since you have not seen them in a while and they'll all want to spend time with you, which is fine. However, this party is going to be different than parties past because you're a college student now. Your cousin who has graduated gives you a knowing look as the fifth person in a row approaches you to talk about dorm life and your brother looks on in fear as he accepts that this is his fate next year. By the end of the night, you will have answered the same questions at least 50 times. It's impossible to avoid these inquiries, but we have to recite them at least once a month to someone who is curious about campus food or our favorite professor.

1. What's your major?

2. Why aren't you studying business?

3. Do you like your classes?

4. What's your favorite class?

5. Who is your favorite professor?

6. Do you have a lot of homework?

7. How difficult are your classes?

8. What are you going to do after you graduate?

9. Do you have an internship?

10. How bad are your student loans?

11. How is dorm life?

12. Do you like your roommate(s)?

13. Is your room big enough?

14. Are you studying hard?

15. Are you dating anyone?

16. Oh, c'mon, there has to be someone special in your life!

17. Are you sleeping enough?

18. Do you drink a lot of coffee?

19. How are your grades?

20. What's your GPA?

21. What's the social life like at school? [Wink, wink.]

Not as booze-filled as you might think.

22. So... do you drink?

23. Are your books expensive?

24. Do you skip class a lot?

25. How were your finals?

26. How's the dining hall food?

27. Are you staying healthy?

28. Do you exercise regularly?

29. Are you ready for next semester?

30. Do you like school?

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.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
