There are so many things to love about Thanksgiving--the freshly carved turkey, mouthwatering dressing, and an endless supply of sweet potato casserole. Holidays are about celebrations with family and friends. With that comes the blunt, nosy great aunt that isn't at all informed about what has been going on in your life and thinks that Thanksgiving dinner is the perfect time to educate herself on all things you-related. The older you get, the more pressing the questions become and you begin to have fewer answers to them, (*cue sweaty palms*) especially if you are a recent college graduate.

Have no fear! Here are prepared answers to all of the questions you'll probablydefinitely get asked this holiday season as told by Parks and Recreation:

1. Where are you working now?

Listen, when you find me somewhere that will hire someone with a Bachelor's degree with no experience and pays well, let me know.

2. How are you?


3. Are you dating anyone?

No, and no I do not want you to set me up with the nice, young boy who delivers your mail.

4. Why not?

Answering a question with a question is always a go-to.

5. How are you spending your free time now that you're finished with school?

6. Are you happy to be finished?

7. Any political question/comment

8. Have you put on a few pounds?


9. Can you watch the kids for a bit?

10. Oh, you're going back for seconds?

10. Whatever happened to *insert ex's name here*?

11. Why did you get a degree in that anyway? There aren't any jobs in that field.

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.
