Christmas break is one of the best times of the school year except for one nasty side effect: family dinners. Most times, you’re stuck at some distant relative’s house making small talk with your uncle while sipping spiked eggnog and the conversation morphs into an interrogation. The questions get more specific and invasive, and the second you excuse yourself to slip away to take a break–there’s another relative, ready to fire off the same questions you’re trying to dodge. If you don’t answer correctly, you’ll become the subject of family gossip until the next holiday party. Here’s how to BS your way through the most common questions.

With the exception of an accidental pregnancy, there’s nothing scarier than graduating college and having no idea what you want to do with your life. Even if you’re living in your childhood bedroom and surfing Craiglist all day doesn’t mean you can’t get started on living your adult life. Just don’t make any of the following mistakes and you should be fine

Here is a list of eight ways to avoid awkwardness after a drunken one-night stand (four ways for the night of and four ways for the days after).

For three years after college graduation, Daniel Seddiqui struggled to land a job. So he shifted gears and went after 50, one in each state, for one week apiece. It’s a tall order, made taller earlier this year when he worked at Universal Orlando as a stilt walker. The Florida theme park was his 33rd stop on the journey that began in August…

Amherst College President Anthony Marx spent six years at the school extolling public service and teaching. His efforts were rewarded this year when eight new graduates took jobs with Teach for America, now the largest employer of Amherst students besides the college itself.

Ah, college. For many people, those first four (or five, or six … ) years you spend away from home, mixing school with a social life, are some of the best you’ll ever have.

Not only is sitting in a cap and gown for three straight hours uncomfortable (especially when it’s hot and that itchy rayon is rubbing against your neck), but the speeches are boring… and they go on forever. Oh, and leaving college is incredibly depressing.

A new crop of job seekers is joining the ranks of the millions of unemployed: soon-to-be college grads. And, unfortunately many students in the class of 2009 are finding out that the job prospects aren’t especially bright…

President Obama is not the only one having problems giving a commencement speech. A group at American University is protesting the selection of Congressman Barney Frank for an honorary degree and as the commencement speaker for the American University School of Public Affairs.

This sucks. I busted my ass, did well in school, made smart choices. Now, I am graduating after four years of college that I paid for all myself – not through selling my “virginity” – but through loans. Now what?

Every year millions of bright college students waltz into classes assuming they’ll ace it just like they did in high school. Sadly, the majority of them are wrong, leading to countless hissy fits, sob sessions, and complaints. This isn’t good for students or teachers, so to help everyone out I’ve decided to explain…
