Holiday Questions From Your Family

The holidays are close again! That means family dinners, gatherings and parties.... and lots of questions. Here's 10 things your family will probably ask.

1. How's school going?

This question is most likely asked at every family gathering no matter the age. This is the general question asked by almost everyone.

2. What year are you again?

This question is asked by distant relatives who may forget how old you are. This question is generally asked when you have the whole family together.

3. Do you like your classes?

Because classes change every semester, this is a common question asked at any family gathering.

4. How are your roommates?

When you can't afford to live alone, your family will always ask questions about your roommates. Sometimes it is a good question, but your roommates aren't always the best, take it from past experience.

5. What do you want to do after graduation?

My plans haven't changed at all, I'm still trying to pursue my dream, but for totters they change their dream. Sometimes family members can forget what it is you want to do with your life.

6. Do you have a boyfriend?

Since I've been single a while, every time my family gets together I always get asked this question. It can get annoying at times, but it's family so you deal with it.

7. Is there anyone you're interested in?

When I say that I don't have a boyfriend, the next question is well are you interested in someone?

8. Are you studying or partying?

I spend most of my time studying, but some of my family members seem to think otherwise.

9. How's the city treating you?

Coming from a small town and going to college in a city is a big change. This is something that most of my family asks even if I come home for a weekend.

10. Are you ready to graduate?

The same question asked every year, but who isn't ready to graduate?

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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
