9 Answers To The Dreaded Relationship Questions At Thanksgiving

Plot Twist: Still Single

9 Answers To The Dreaded Relationship Questions At Thanksgiving

I hope the high school aged, college aged, and all single people are ready for all of the relationship questions during this holiday season. Your family isn't trying to ruin your life, they're just curious. But, it really does stink sometimes to answer those questions. Like sorry to let you down now and forever with the same answer "still single, grandma." Maybe this year we can get a little creative with our responses. Here are nine ideas of how you can respond when someone asks...

"So who is the lucky guy/girl?"

1. "Absolutely no one. I suffer from chronic single-itis. The prognosis is not good, so you should probably stop asking."

2. "Ehh, commitment?? People do that? I don't know grandma, people are pretty scary these days."

3. "I have a severe case of the uglies before noon everyday and that's when most people see me so naturally I am forever single."

4. "Netflix is all I really need in life right now I don't have time for relationships."

5. "I have a bad eye so I can hardly see the cute boys anyone..." (personal problem here, but it was necessary)

6. "It's hard to fall in love when I am constantly falling flat on my face all of the time!"

7. "Gotta focus on those grades, can't waste my time right now." (Response family member may respond with: "Oh... well sure, you've got plenty of time!" Refrain from angrily twitching at that comment).

8. There's really just no guys worthy of me here. I mean have you seen me? Ain't no regular person worthy of this dime!"

9. "Long story short, I'm hopeless. Sorry... Let's eat."

And that my friends, is how you score the ultimate pity from your family, the promise that people won't ask for at least the rest of the day, and the chance that they'll try to set you up with one of their friend's children. With that, I wish you all a happy Thanksgiving!

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions.

Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
