Ohio State Student Is The Real Holiday MVP With His Family Small Talk FAQ

Dent7 years ago

The holidays can be a tough time for college kids. The comfort of being at home and eating on someone else’s dime is only balanced out by the cringeworthy encounters that surely await when you see your relatives for the first time in a year. “How’s school? Meet any ladies? Bet those parties are crazy.” All of these questions are bound to arise. Thanksgiving is the first stage in a gauntlet of holiday events where you will have to deal with these pestering annoyances. Thankfully, one Ohio State student has come up with a solution to defeat the reoccurrence of these probing questions.

I don’t typically advocate for doing homework over the holidays, but this is something I can get on board with. Just a little bit of preparation and this guy Robert Clark was able to enjoy his Thanksgiving without the hassle. He made a FAQ page for himself. How awesome is that? The fucked up thing is you know some of his family members still tried to make their yearly inquiries even with the helpful aid. To which he replied, “Read the damn chart, Aunt Susan.”

Does your family want to know what’s going on in your life? Sure they do. But is their interaction with you more often than not just obligatory small talk? Definitely. So why not give them the best of both worlds? Save yourself the bullshit so that you and Uncle Ted can get right to watching some football and not have to speak of the rigors of prerequisite science. Make a sign this holiday season..
