Distant family was over 3 days ago... not even 10 seconds after saying hello, college gets brought up. Ugh. Normally this isn't that big of a deal but these people specifically are IMPOSSIBLE to talk to about stuff like this. It is strictly a 4 year degree or you've failed at life. My one aunt's daughter just started talking to this guy, first question my aunt asks her is, "Does he have a degree?"
I really didn't want to talk about it, they gave advice that I took with a tremendous grain of salt, told them my plans for this summer of taking classes online while working at my summer job. Then came the "What's the rush?" "Don't overwork yourself." "You really want to waste your last summer?" You know just the typical cringe BS. But it gets better.
Everyone started talking about places they want to travel. Obviously no problem with that, but I noticed... everyone was naming places inside the US. Eventually I say, "I want to go to Fiji!" everyone giggled, then my mom pulled the classic:
"Haha! Well if you start saving now maybe by the time you're 50 you can go." ughhhh. I thought of the slowlane right away. This is the same person who had an aneurism when I mentioned I wasn't interested in a 4 year degree.
You seriously cannot change these people's minds about anything.
