Ah, it's the most wonderful time of the year. The weather is cooler, the finals are upon us, and you have to reunite with your family. While going home for the holidays is a great time, especially since you've totally gained 10 pounds eating Chick-fil-a four times a week this semester and could use someone to force a vegetable or two on your plate, but this also means you're going to be bombarded with questions you probably don't have the answer to.

And even though everyone has your best intentions at heart, you're going to have to force a smile or two to get through the interrogation portion of the holidays. Luckily, you were prepared this year and you have plenty of time to prep your answers for the neverending change of life questions upon you this holiday season.

1. How did you do on your finals?

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!
