After a long, stressful, and exciting semester students return home for a much-needed vacation. When we come home for winter break, we are often bombarded with questions. Here is a list of 18 questions that everyone has been asked.
1. How’s school?
This question is asked by your parents, siblings, neighbors, friends. The answer is always the same--”school is good.” I mean how do people expect you to answer the question in a timely fashion? The semester was four months long, and a lot of things happened.

2. Do you like your professors?
There were some good ones and some weird ones. But I cannot complain, all my professors had a lot of passion for what they were teaching and they cared about their students.
3. How were your finals?
I cannot even begin to describe the stressful situation that is finals. But I won’t worry you about the lack of sleep and lack of proper food, so instead I will tell you they were “good.”
4. What are you majoring in?
I am doing a dual degree in journalism and marketing. But college is the time for exploring, so my major might change.
5. Do you have a boyfriend?
Mothers, aunts, and grandmothers are very intrigued with the boys I’ve met at college.
6. Do a lot of people party at your school?
Um.. it’s college. Enough said.
7. What do you do on the weekends?
I am fortunate enough to go to a school in a big city, so there are so many things to do. Weekends can be spent shopping, going to a baseball game, or eating at a restaurant.
8. How is your roommate?
I am lucky enough to have a very considerate and friendly roommate, who I know will always be there for me.
9. Did you gain weight?
I hope not. But with the all you can eat ice cream in the dining hall and Domino's delivery service at your fingertips, it is hard to resist.
10. Have you used the gym yet?
I have! Can you tell?
11. How is the food?
The food is nothing compared to your food mom.
12. Did you make a lot of friends?
I met a lot of cool people that I cannot wait to see again in January.
13. What do you miss about Jersey/ your home state?
I love you Boston, but your pizza and your bagels suck.
14. Do you miss home?
Of course, I miss home! But I also miss my college life.
15. Can you drive your sibling to (insert various locations such as band practice/school)?
Being home and having a license makes you the next taxi driver for the family. You being home allows for your parents to take a break from driving your siblings to school, band, and taekwondo practice.
16. Did you miss us?
Of course I miss you guys. When I am off at college, I am constantly thinking of my parents, my dog, and my friends.
17. Who did you miss the most?
If pizza were a person, I would miss him the most.
18. When is your next break?
I’ll be back before you know it.
