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.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
