Don't get me wrong here, I love my family and I love having conversations with them around the dinner table whether it be Christmas or Thanksgiving, but it often is filled with the same questions that frankly, I don't have the answers to.
I will not discuss the election with you.
Yes, I voted, yes I keep up with politics, but the last thing I want to do is sit around and discuss Trump and Hillary. Honestly, this may be better for the both of us.
Are you making friends?
Of course, I'm making a ton of friends, they're all fantastic. Please, just don't ask if I have a boyfriend.
Do you have a boyfriend?
There it is... I've been waiting for that question all evening.
Are you getting good grades?
Well, I haven't flunked out yet, so that's a good start. I couldn't bear to tell my grandmother what I got on my last math test, so we'll go with all A's.
How is the food at school?
I'm not sure if you remembered where you sent me back in August, but it surely wasn't a 5-star resort. I'm just banking on taking home leftovers.
What's your major?
Honestly, I do know my major. Am I going to tell you? Highly unlikely. I've learned that people will tell me I won't make enough money or that I won't be happy. So, I'm undecided.
Do you get enough sleep?
It really depends on what you mean by that...
What are your plans for this summer?
My plans for this summer include a whole lot of Netflix, sleeping, and not thinking about school. No, I will not get an internship, thanks for asking.
I love my family more than anything, but answering these questions can be stressful to a college student! Pro tip: if you never stop eating turkey and stuffing, you won't have to answer these questions. After this, it's almost Christmas break, we can do it! Happy Thanksgiving!
