7 Things College Students Are Sick Of Hearing

I cry myself to sleep a lot, I forgot to eat sometimes, and I binge watch Netflix shows more than I do my homework, but it's fine. Everything's fine!

The holidays are the best and the worst when you're a college student. Getting home cooked meals and quality time with your friends and family are always amazing, but getting asked all of the awkward questions about anything and everything by family members is the absolute worst.

These are some of the things we college students are sick of hearing, during the holidays and just in general!

1. What's your major?

I'm pretty sure I've explained this to you about sixteen times, Aunt Karen.

2. What are you planning on doing with that major?

I'm going to use my journalism degree and hopefully become a news reporter or write for a publication! And no, Uncle Joe, I'm not going to be a cashier my whole life.

3. You got a special someone, yet?

Yes, Aunt Carol. We've been dating for almost a year and you've met him like four times...

4. How's school going?

I cry myself to sleep a lot, I forgot to eat sometimes, and I binge watch Netflix shows more than I do my homework, but it's fine. Everything's fine!

5. Are your friends nice?

My friends are the absolute best! Here's a picture of us at Taco Tuesday, us at the fountain on campus, and us eating Taco Bell after every lecture on Tuesdays and Thursdays!

6. I can't see a lot of your pictures or videos on Facebook. Why is that?

I don't want to post videos of me running around campus wine drunk during darty season, Kathy.

7. Do you like college?

LOVE IT!

So even though we're sick of hearing these questions, we sure do love talking about all of the fun we're having in school!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
