How You Should Really Answer Those Awkward Questions at Holiday Gatherings
vaviper.blogspot.com

You're probably looking forward to spending the holidays with your family, but I bet you haven't prepared yourself to answer those awkward questions. The questions that you hate so much you want to wear a shirt to every family gathering that says "DON'T ASK ME ANYTHING." The questions that you've politely and awkwardly answered at every holiday for as long as you can remember. Well, this year it's time to switch it up. Try these answers, and I bet your family will never bombard you with questions EVER again.

Q: "Do you have a job? How do you make money?"

A: "You bet! Have you ever heard of the term 'Sugar Daddy?'"


Q: "How's school going? Are you getting good grades?"

A: "Oh for sure. Are you familiar with the new grading scale in college? A 2.0 is actually an A+, so you could say I'm a genius."


Q: "So do you know what you want to do after you graduate?"

A: "Probably get a job, hate it, quit, hit a low, then begin stripping to make ends meet. I've always really loved to dance!"


Q: "Do you have a boyfriend?"

A: "Yeah we just celebrated his 51st birthday! I wasn't sure about him at first, but his daughter and I just get along so well. I think it's meant to be! Age is but a number, baby."


Q: "Do you eat well at school? Are you remembering to eat your veggies?"

A: "Oh of course! I get my full serving of veggies in my daily Bloody Mary. I'm on a total health kick."


Q: "How is *insert name of ex/ friend you haven't talked to since high school/ old roommate*? What've they been up to?"

A: "Burning in hell, probably."


Good luck! May your days be merry and hopefully less awkward...

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
