Coming Home for Thanksgiving - Senior Edition

Here are a few questions that college seniors are all so looking forward to when they come home for Thanksgiving.

When most people think of Thanksgiving, especially college students, they think, "Yes! I get to go home!" or "I get a home cooked meal!" or "I get to see my family after such and such months!" But many seniors who are coming home to see their families, who just want to come home and sleep, are going to be given the many questions you have been asking yourself since your semester began.

Throughout the entire semester, you're trying to figure out what the future holds for you. Most people know, most people don't. As much as I want to go home and be with my friend, I'm dreading the questions that I will most likely be receiving as well as many other seniors when we return home.


1. "How's School?"

College seniors aren't the only people that get this question, even elementary school kids get this question. The only difference between two is that one is a little more excited about what they did versus the other. . .I think you can guess which is which.


2. "Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?"

The human race is nosy — we can't help it. It's apart of our DNA or something. So don't be all that surprised with this question. In my own personal case, I don't even have the time to worry about myself much less think about another person.


3. "What are you going to do once you graduate?"

This question is the most dreaded out of any other question. You, being the college senior, are more worried about just finishing the current semester and passing all your finals while graduation dangles over your head. You haven't even considered the possibilities of the real world yet.



Besides all these "wonderful" questions, you get to go home and see your lovely family after so many months away at college. It will be nice to see familiar faces and really catch up with friends and just have the break that you deserve, before winter break. On that note, have a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy this nice break. We all definitely need it.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
