5 Questions No College Student Wants To Be Asked On Thanksgiving

Every college student dreams about coming home for Thanksgiving. A whole week of no classes, your own bed, no shower shoes, a delicious, home cooked food. But what does every college student dread about Thanksgiving break? The endless questions from all of your relatives. Your relatives may think you are starting to get your life together, but really, you are nowhere near having your life together. Here are some questions that will make every college student cringe on Thanksgiving:

1. "How are your classes going?"

Well truthfully, they are so much harder than high school, all I do is study, I'm drowning in homework, and even though I'm pretty sure I've done all of my homework there is probably something I'm forgetting. But thanks for asking.

2. "Do you have a boyfriend?"

Of course not. What boy would find this attractive? And do I even have time to entertain a boy? Plus I don't even know how to talk to boys. And if I did have a boyfriend, what would I even do with it?

3. "Did you put on a little weight?'

Why yes. Yes I did. But you try only having fast food restaurants near you, drinking on the weekends, stress eating, and hanging out with your friends by going out to eat. It's hard not to gain a little weight.

4. "What classes are you taking next semester?"

I'm barely getting through my classes this semester, I don't even want to think about next semester.

5. "What do you want to do when you graduate?"

I don't even know what sides I want with my turkey dinner, let alone what I want to do with my life once classes are done. Let's just take this one day at a time, here.

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.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
