Going home for a holiday and seeing your extended family for the first time in weeks can be a lot to handle for any college student. Here at The Sundial, we have all the best ways to survive your family dinner.
Election:
If you hear your relatives talking about the election or ask who you voted for…
-Just ask them if they’ve tried the stuffing and shove a spoonful in their mouth
-Run away
School talk:
If your relative asks you how the end of the semester is coming…
-Laugh. Laugh harder than you have ever laughed before. And don’t blink. Stare them dead in the eyes
-You could try to run away
Relationship talk:
If your relative asks you why you didn’t bring anyone home this year…
-Tell them you just couldn’t decide which one of all your lovers was honorable enough to meet your fourth cousin
-Run away?
Graduation:
If your relative asks if you’re ready to graduate or asks your plans for post-graduation…
-Slowly get down and lay on the floor, crawl into a ball and rock back and forth
-Run away as fast as you can
Alcohol:
If your relative or parent sees you take a shot and says “Wow, you took that too easy, you must be used to it!” simply just…
-Blame it on all those Nyquil shots growing up
-Maybe just run away
Leftovers:
If you want to take food back because your meal plan is running out or you don’t want to buy more groceries…
-Stuff all the rolls in your bra or boxers, they won’t suspect a thing
-Grab the turkey and run away
Classic:
If your Aunt Denise starts drinking her “special drink” before 11am…
-Just run away, you have no other option, you have to get out of there
