12 Relatable Moments As Told By The Grinch

UPHE

The word relatable is one of the most commonly used catch phrases in 2015, being thrown around by teenagers everywhere in serious contexts and when joking around. Everything you see nowadays is relatable in some way, shape, or form. From situations you see in public to characters you watch on TV, it is all relatable. With the holidays coming up, here are twelve ways that the Grinch from "Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas" is relatable.

1. Time Management

Between balancing work, school, and a social life, by the end of the day, you barely have time to lay wallowing in self-pity.

2. Emotions

You learn to love, hate, and loathe people entirely. You make friends, you lose some, and that is really a cycle that continues through life.

3. Being Hungry

No matter how old you get, you are always hungry. You find yourself eating when you are busy, when you are bored, and of course, when you are starving.

4. Going Out

Going out with friends requires an immense amount of effort after a long day of school. Do you really want to go out, or do you want to stay home and watch "The Grinch?"

5. Seeing a Cute Baby

This is probably just me, but who else gets so excited when they see a wicked cute baby? Also, the Grinch as a baby is probably the cutest thing!

6. Christmas

I LOVE CHRISTMAS SO MUCH.

7. The other 364 days of the Year

Okay, only 364 days until Christmas. I can do it. I believe in myself.

8. Picking an Outfit

A daily struggle. WHAT WILL I WEAR!?

9. Trying Foods

I am a very picky eater, and going over to other people's houses is very challenging, especially around dinner time, when they are giving you random food that you have never encountered before.

10. Unrealistic Goals

Throughout life, we always have those unrealistic goals, such as owning a mansion or becoming a celebrity. Yes, they can happen, but not always as easy as we think.

11. Relationships

Friendships are important, and as I said before, you win, some you lose some. But the ones you keep forever become the most important people in your life. And sometimes, you may even find that special person that has you feeling all types of ways.

12. Laughing at your Own Jokes

I always laugh at my own jokes, because I generally think I am just more funny than other people think I am. Laughing at your own jokes, I find, builds my self-confidence, so why not?

Although you may think you are the loving and caring person you are, there are moments when you are actually the Grinch, reeking havoc on Whoville and maybe (hopefully not) ruining Christmas.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
