9 Questions You'll Get Asked This Holiday Season
Huffington Post

As everyone heads home after their finals, we are filled with excitement about seeing everyone from home again. This excitement can quickly wilt when you get home and within the first 30 minutes you get the same question six times. These are 9 questions you better have an answer for because you're about to be asked 10,000 times.

1. Where do you go to school?

They will claim it just left their brain, but you know that they just couldn't remember since the last time they saw you at the last large family gathering.

2. Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?

Nope, I don't.

3. Why not? Nobody you're interested in?

This question usually gets super awkward because the person usually asking has no need for this personal information.

4. How did your finals go?


They happened, we would rather not say anything more than that.

5. Do you like school?

Yep, it's great. It's college and I'm a college student, it's my dream... next question please.

6. What's your major?

This is obviously followed by....

7. What do you want to do with that after school?

Well, I'm hoping to get a job in my field and yeah, that's about all I got.

8. Aren't you worried about finding a job?


Yes, we really are, please stop reminding us of this.

9. Do you have to study a lot?


As soon as you mention studying, we are reminded of how much we have to do and that is the last thing we want to think of.

We know these are coming, but kudos to you if you can ask ANYTHING that isn't on this list.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
