The Perfect Responses To The Questions Your Family Will Ask You Over The Holidays

With the holiday season comes great food, Christmas cheer, and plenty of family time. It is inevitable that your relatives or family friends will feel obligated to give you the third degree about your semester at every holiday function. We call upon the ever eloquent Mindy Lahiri of "The Mindy Project" and Michael Scott of "The Office" to help us through the interrogation.

What is your major?

Technically my major isn’t McDonalds per say, but I have become an expert in late night fast food eating.


How were your grades this semester?

So maybe my GPA doesn’t quite reflect it, but I learned a lot this semester. College made me really smart, I swear!

Are you dating anyone?

To be completely honest.

Why not?


‘Cause I’m an independent woman who doesn’t need no man, OK?!

I’m sure you’ll find someone soon! You are so adorable!


Wow, thank you!

Do you like your roommate?

Yes, I do! Safe to say we are irrationally obsessed with each other, and three weeks is way too long to be separated.

My cousin’s best friend’s daughter’s niece goes to your school! Do you know her?

My school is not huge, but the chances of me running into that random person you barely know that you are “pretty sure” goes to my college and you are “almost positive” is in my grade are very slim.

Overall, do you like school?

I had an amazing semester and, although being home is great, I can’t wait to get back!

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
