Let the hunger games of shame begin...

It's that time of the year again folks... when the nightmarish bombardment of college questions head your way.

Rolling up to Thanksgiving with your baby cuz.


Strutting in post pregame.



And when your Mom pulls you aside to ask if you're drunk...

"C'mon Mom, if College has taught me anything, it's to be most functioning drunk guy"


The criticisms keep coming when you go for three plates of food.

"I've been perpetually starving for three whole months. Let me have this!"


Dinner begins and Aunt Peggy brings up politics.

Don't do this. Not today, Aunt Peggy.


So Grandma changes the subject and suddenly the college questions are flying your way.


And you gotta keep that #1 Grandaughter status.


"Have you made any friends?"

The library and I are real tight. Best of friends really. I offer it a warm, dying body and it gives me silence to bask in hell.


"Do you have a boyfriend?"

I often fall asleep to the voice of Michael Scott, so if you consider "The Office" a legitimate relationship, then yes. I know I do...


"Are you just loving it at school?"

It's the greatest trip to the underworld I could have imagined.


"Are you eating well, sleeping right, and taking care of yourself?"

Was that a joke?


Your cousin chimes in with how well they're doing.


So you gotta throw down some harsh criticisms.



But the family's there judging you judging, so you gotta act like you're not judging.

But you're still judging.

So when cousin Jane says she's traveling abroad with her best girlfriend and your family is stark-republican.

Revenge is sweet, Jane.


But deep down you're real butt hurt.


The next morning the emotional trauma of Thanksgiving dinner feels worse than a hangover.


You're headed back to college and they ask if you'll be back next year...

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
