Guide To Surviving Your Family's Horrible Questions This Thanksgiving

The holidays can be great. There’s free food, free booze, lots of delicious cheeses, and desserts. Did I mention booze? Whether you’re a poor college student or struggling adult, it’s a great time to eat as much food and drink as much as you want – FO FREE.

When it comes to spending time with family members, there’s ALWAYS a catch. In addition to all the great stuff comes all the annoying questions you don’t want to answer.

As a struggling human who is in an exclusive relationship with her cat, I totally get the struggle and I’m here to help. I’ve compiled a list of the most common (and annoying) questions you’re bound to be asked and have given you some responses to get everyone off your back. Warning: sarcasm ahead.

How come you’re single?

Answers:
- Because I hate everyone.

Answers:
- Oh really, I should? I never thought about that, Good idea!

*Let’s talk about politics*

When it doubt – more sarcasm and more drinking, it’s the only way to survive. If all else fails, just remember all of the Black Friday sales you get to take advantage of once this is all over. So enjoy all of your food and we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at iEDM!
