You made it through finals. Your brain does not know the difference between milk and marshmallows, but you did it.

Friend: You didn't respond to my texts for 72 hours....

Cousin: How is school going?

Aunt: What are you studying again?

Grandma: Where do you want to work at when you graduate in 3 years?

You: School sucks, I don't know what I'm studying and I want to be President when I graduate.

Seriously, enough with the awkward conversation-filling school conversations.

4. The shopping stage
