With college decisions season upon us, a reference guide of 16 conversation topics has been assembled for friends of seniors.  Here’s what to talk about instead of college decisions:

1. The weather- the classic conversation starter can help you get a conversation going, or change the current topic. Always exciting.

   

2. Their mother- Mark Wahlberg’s method- just ask “How’s your mother?” in a thick Boston accent.*
3. That time your pants fell down in pre-school and you cried and ran to the corner- That’s happened to everyone, right?
4. You have something in your teeth. Enamel! Haha. Good Joke. May result in punching.
5. The banjo- it’s an instrument. Discuss.

   

6. The game- did you catch it? This weekend?
7. Community on NBC- it’s a great TV show. Check it out. This is just a very genuine tip.
8. “So…” then walk away.
9. I think my mom is calling me.
10. That time your pants fell down in junior year and you cried and ran to the corner.
11. Airline food- What’s the deal with it?
12. Them Yankees- How ‘bout them?
13. Where babies come from.

    

14. Your love life- or lack thereof…
15. The Impending Apocalypse- repent!
