Making small talk is the worst. People ask you personal questions about yourself, that most of time, you don't have a flying fuck how to answer. But you have to try your best and be polite and not slap them in the fucking face. What is it with people, especially strangers and distant relations you don't really know that well (I'm looking at you Aunt Mary), that make them think they can question your life plan? Not okay. Here are just some of the most irritating questions that we get asked about our future, and the correct responses to use:
1) "So, what's the plan?"
Response: Excuse me but could you be any fucking more vague? Get out of my face.
2) "What will this degree get you?"
Response: Maybe some manners so I know not to ask these annoying ass questions.
3) "When are you going to find a nice girl/boy and settle down?"
Response: As soon as they come back in stock, they'll e-mail me so I'll let you know when I know.
