[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College freshman here. Please stop asking us where we're going and what we're studying. I get that some people like family members and neighbors are curious but it can get really annoying. Also [b]it's embarrassing to say it[/b] especially when you have family members and cousins who went to/are at Ivy League/big competitive state schools and you're at a community college. It makes that person feel so bad and feel like he or she is dumb and not meeting family expectations for college. [/quote]

You have to grow a bit thicker skin.  Otherwise, in a few years it's going to be embarrassing to say where you work, where you live, where you like to shop, what's your favorite restaurant and answer any other general question about your life.[/quote]

When I was a teen and I was dealing with Ivy obsessed cousins they asked me my plans and I said “my parole officer thinks I can get ankle bracket off soon”… my mom and dad didn’t laugh but it did shut down the conversation.

I’m not embarrassed to be a engineer but I recognized a rude conversation even at 15.[/quote]
