Awkward Thanksgiving Dinner Questions You Always Get Asked

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at LMU chapter.

Thanksgiving is a time to catch up with those you love. Whether you gobble down dinner with friends or family (or both), you are bound to get asked some awkward questions. Here are some of the most common:

Q: Do you have a boyfriend yet? 

Q: I know you’ve already given the same response to the last twelve people, but how is college?

Q: What are you going to do with your life?

Q: Are you sure you need another helping of mashed potatoes? 

Q: Got any crazy plans for the rest of break?

Q: I went to college thirty years ago so I obviously know exactly what it’s like for you now, right?

Q: [Sees you check your phone once] Wow, you sure are addicted to technology, huh? Kids these days!
