Questions You Hear Way Too Much When You're Home For Summer
Blogspot

We all love coming home from a long and stressful spring semester. Spending time with you family, hanging out with your high school friends and just being extremely lazy. But, spending time with your family can be annoying with all the questions we don’t want to hear.

1. Did you get good grades?

Please, I have been home for maybe two hours, I don’t want to talk and even think about grades right now.

2. Did you make the Dean’s list?

If I don’t want to talk about grades, I sure as heck do not want to talk about the Dean’s list.

3. Do you have a job for this summer?

No, I just plan on constantly asking my parents for money.

4. Well, how about an internship?

If you are not a junior or sophomore yet, then prepare for this question to be asked a lot. Here is a quick answer you can use, “I’m working on it.”

5. Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend yet?

I swear, this is the most frequent asked question and the most annoying question. Please do not remind me on how lonely I am. But if you have a boy/girlfriend, then good for you for not being alone.

6. What year are you again?

Why does it seem like your whole family just somehow forgot what year you are? Grandma I am a junior in college, I told you this last week.

7. What are you majoring in again?

Your family must think that you change your major often, because they ask you all the time what your major is. Aunt Patty, it has been communications since freshmen year.

8. What are you going to do after college?

I don’t even know what I plan to do tomorrow. How would I know what I am doing after college?

9. How much did you drink at school?

I drank a lot of Dr Pepper, Uncle Tim.

10. (If you are an athlete) How did the season go?

Even though they already know the answer, your family feels obligated to ask you repeatedly how the season went.

11. Do you like school?

Considering I have been at this school for almost four years and I made my best friends here and endless memories…no, I hate it.

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.

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.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
