Thanksgiving; a celebration with close family and friends sharing thanks for each other... AND getting asked the same 198,573,489,57,348 questions over- and over- and OVER. I know I'm not the only one who is dreading the typical questions I will be asked next Thursday. But wait; attitude is everything! So making this a game or having interesting responses will help you stay sane. Lets have some fun with this: here are the five typical questions college age adults will be asked and how you can answer or at least in your head.
1) How's school?
I can guarantee this will be number one. How should one go about answering this?
"Oh schools great. I'm sane 1/3rd of the time, stressed and/or crying 1/3rd and hungry the other 1/3rd.I'm still passing though..hopefully.. oh hey Dad I got straight A's! Aunt Sally how's your car doing after you rer-ended that guy at a stop light?"
2) Are you seeing anyone?
Does tequila count?
"Ha ha ha. Yeah I met this one guy on tinder- I mean in class (don't want to explain tinder to old people) and we went on some dates (if you want to call it that because he didn't buy). Then he friend-zoned me, or I friend-zoned him. Either way it's just good ole' me! But, I'm so independent the last thing I need is for a man to complete me! How's the single life with cats, Aunt Gale? Any tips, suggestions?!"
3) What's tinder?
Oh boy.
"Tinder is just this app that like all young people have. You just kind of have it to have it ya know? You can meet new people, go on some crappy dates (but get free food),and get ghosted on all within a few short weeks! But, uncle Rick, how is "Farmers Only" working for you?"
4) How many more years of school do you have left?
Can this just be the one question I plead the fifth to?
"Well uhhh let's see: not all of my transfer credits met goal areas and I didn't meet specific requirements in time, so I have at least an extra semester. But, I really want to go abroad for a semester so add one more to that. So, the grand total is... Yeah we'll just go with 2- round down! How many more years of work do you have left? 15 more years until social security? Dang, that sucks!"
5) What are your plans after school?
L. O. L
"After I graduate I want to OBVIOUSLY get a job. Or, just lay in bed, sleep, and binge watch Netflix until I turn into mush. Actually, I guess I haven't thought that far... Aunt Elsa how's book club?"
