Questions i hate answering

I am going to talk about three annoying questions that i get often. The first one is "How do you pronounce your last name" GOUGH. It is pronounced like "Cough" but with a G. I don't think it is that hard to think of. People often pronounce it like Vincent Van Gogh, which is guess is understandable. It's just frustrating having to explain it when it looks so similar to a common word.

 Another question is hate being asked is when i'm at a party and a guy immediately asks me what sorority i'm in. I don't mind being asked what sorority i'm in in general, i just hate when people, especially drunk frat guys, act like it is the only thing that matters. Like if i say a sorority that they aren't very fond of, are you just going to stop talking to me? One time at a party i got asked what sorority i was in before i was asked what my NAME was. I think that is just ridiculous. I understand that greek life is huge at UK, and i love my sorority and everything that it involves, but there is more to me than my sorority.

My final question that i hate being asked is, "If you're from Lexington, why do you live in the dorms?" Ask anyone, the dorms do suck but it is all apart of the college experience. I love all the friends i have made in my dorm, i love being able to wake up 30 minutes before class and walk there, i love having a meal plan and being able to save money that i would normally spend on food, and i love not having to drive from my home to campus everyday. My house is a solid 20 minutes away from campus and you never know how bad lexington traffic is going to be. I love my parents to death and i enjoy visiting them occasionally, but i am an adult and want to learn how to live on my own. And do people expect me to live at home for all four years of college since i'm from here? I sure hope not because i do not want to live with my parents when i'm 21 years old, i want my own place. College is when you grow up and move out and that is why i don't still live at home. Yes it would save a lot of money, but even my parents agree that they want me to have the dorm experience. They are from Lexington and went to UK, and they lived at home and the regret it a lot.

 This is how far the drive is from my house to campus, would you like to drive that everyday just to go to class?
