Smiling is your favorite.

11 Signs You Are Buddy the Elf

1. You crave holiday treats (no matter who made them).

Candy, candy canes, candy corn, and syrup. Those are your four main food groups. You love holiday sweets, and you do not care who makes them. As long as you are sitting with some hot chocolate, a slice of pie, and side of candy canes, you're as jolly as Buddy.

2. Singing is the way you show Christmas cheer.

Whether you have a voice similar to Adele or one similar to a reindeer's cry, you spread the happiest of Christmas cheer by singing loud for everyone to hear (whether they want to or not). Maybe you even go caroling.

3. You binge-watch holiday movies all Christmas break.

You go straight home after finals and immediately begin watching holiday movies (especially "Elf"). You even go to the VCR for some movies (if you don't know what that is, bless you). You probably know every line to "Elf," "The Grinch," and even "Frosty the Snowman."

4. You've perfected "watching your mouth" around family.

From parents to grandparents to aunts to cousins, you have perfected not cussing when at home. You go from free rein(deer) to the North Pole in the best of ways. You even come up with other sayings or acronyms to avoid those dangerous words.

5. You come home with holiday adventures with old friends.

You haven't seen your friends from home in months, so you are the ones who make all the cute holiday plans. Going to see Christmas lights, building snowmen, and decorating are your favorite things to do with your friends. You even write them down in your Etch A Sketch (or planner).

6. You're the master behind sneaking food early.

Instead of waiting on extra Santa cookies or waiting for grandma to cut the ham, you dig in. You don't mind being the taste-tester for the rest of the family. You're also definitely the sneaky midnight cookie and milk thief.


7. When you finally get the opportunity to drink with friends, you chug.

You've gone a week or so without drinking, and finally, you get the opportunity to see old friends. So, obviously you forget your limits and begin chugging. That leads to a looooooooong burp (or something completely worse—but let's hope for the best).

8. Surprisingly, you didn't completely bomb your finals.

You are so excited when those final grades are put online. You want to immediately celebrate, so you go to your favorite place (coffee shop with the best cup of coffee of course) to grab a Christmas blend. Congratulations, you passed!

9. You run in to every. single. person. ever. at every. single. place. you visit at home.

Even the awkward people you never really spoke to, yet they wave at you at Kroger at 2:17 p.m. Then your mom starts asking questions about them and you honestly can't tell her anything about that person. But, hey, it's the holidays and you are so excited for Christmas that you happily wave back.

10. Christmas Eve is everything.

You know Santa is literally coming in like five hours. Your'e so excited you have to tell everyone and anyone that will listen. Santa is indeed coming tonight, and you've already put out the cookies and milk (but you've eaten a few before).

11. New Year's Eve & Day are coming soon, too.

The holiday isn't over at Christmas for you. You know how to celebrate a new year, too. New Years' resolutions and a new semester are your favorite things—besides smiling and singing, of course.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
