The holidays are here! And you know what that means...food, annoying in-laws coming to town for dinner they didn't make, and unwanted questions being asked from all ends of the family. Oh, what joy! I don't know about you, but I have a very big family and am the youngest of like a hundred cousins so everybody in the family is always waiting on me to see what I'll do next. Am I seeing anybody, do I have plans after college, am I working now, am I living up to everyone's expectations...blah blah blahhhh. I am so over people expecting major things from me. Like, people, its a miracle if I can find a matching pair of socks in the morning and make it to my eight am on time. Then if both of those things happen, I will feel like I have my life together. What a nice thirty seconds that will be! Here's a list of things that I know I wouldn't want to be asked and what you shouldn't ask your college students when they come home for the holidays.

1. "Are you seeing anyone? You're such a catch, anybody would be so lucky to have you!"

Dating now a days is hard, especially in college. People now a days don't really look for "relationships.' And by that I mean they don't really want commitment. They want the best of both worlds, they want to have someone on the side and then be able to go out and do whatever they want without being tied down. So, sorry, grandma, I'm still single.

2. "What are your plans after you graduate"?

Last I checked this was thanksgiving dinner and not twenty questions with you being all nosy because you never call me any other time of the year than now. I don't even know what I'm going to make my self for dinner tonight. I get anxiety about changing my shampoo to a new brand. You really think I've got planned out what I want to do with the rest of my life? Ha, no.

3."Are you really sure about that major"?

I mean, I was when I decided on it but now thank you for guilting me into thinking that I won't be good at it, fam. Now you've got me over here rethinking every decision I've ever made in my life.

4. "Are you getting involved? There are so many opportunities in college..."

Yes, I know. My mentor forced me to go to all of those fairs that made me feel guilty about not joining their little clubs. I barley have time for activities between my class schedule and my nap schedule.

5. "So what was in that red cup in that picture you posted a few nights ago"?

Grandpa, its really great that you figured out how to work facebook and all but let's not tell everybody about your little discoveries, k? K.

6. "Who is ready for seconds"?

I mean, I already snuck another plate of food without anybody noticing because all I've been living off of are chicken nuggets and calzones for the past couple of months.

7. "Do you like the classes you're taking"?

I cry a little bit inside every time I close my backpack but, I manage.
