23 Questions Every Twentysomething Asks Their Parents

We look like adults and we may think we're adults, but the truth is: some of us twenty somethings still have no idea what we're doing with ourselves. But that's ok, because we know our parents are going to be there to answer any question... no matter how ridiculous. It doesn't matter how old we get because we'll still be asking our parents questions for years to come. And, let's face it, our parents just somehow know everything. Here's a list of things every twentysomething still asks their parents:

1. "What do I bring to a dinner party?"

2. "What do you mean not all doctors are covered by my insurance?"

3. "Do you have my passport?"

4. "How much ibuprofen is too much ibuprofen?"

5. "How do I know if I have strep throat?"

6. "If I send you this picture, can you tell me if I have strep throat?"

7. " Can you help me do my taxes?"

8. "What's an appropriate wedding gift?"

9. "How do I check my credit?"

10. "What's the recipe for that one pasta dish you always make?"

11. "What's the Netflix password?"

12. "What exactly happens if I don't pay my electricity bill in time?"

13. "How do I wash clothes that say 'clean dry only'?"

14. "I need to be up early - can you call me at 7 a.m. to make sure I'm awake?"

15. "Can you help me fix my computer?"

16. "What does business casual even mean?"

17. "Is it really ok to leave the house with the crockpot on?"

18. "What's my Social Security number?"

19. "When's grandma's birthday?"

20. "How long am I supposed to cook chicken for?"

21. "What do I do if my heat isn't working?"

22. "I just ate something that expired two weeks ago... Am I going to be ok?"

23. "Why didn't you tell me adult-ing was so hard?"

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.

You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours.

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
