30 Questions College Students Are Tired Of Hearing

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?

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
