12 Ways That 'Christmas Vacation' Totally Represents Your Christmas Break

Selig Film News

My family watches Christmas Vacation each year as one of our favorite Christmas traditions. The Griswolds just seem to understand what college students experience while home for the holidays. Here are 12 different ways that this unique family just gets us:

1. Driving to dinner has you like...

"Please send help."

2. Dodging that creepy uncle every year proves to be quite the task.

3. Questions about your future are coming in hot, and you're just not prepared.

"What are your post-grad plans?"

4. And more questions you just can't seem to escape.

You're just like "I don't want to be an adult."

5. And when you finally spot that bottle of wine hanging out in the kitchen, a glimmer of hope appears!

6. Maintaining your happy face all night long can be testing.

"Ha ha, good one..."

7. But a few drinks might just help you keep jail time off your personal record.

8. Everyone in the kitchen is freaking out.

9. You decide to try a scoop of that lonely, odd looking salad that no one has touched yet.

Yikes, instantly regretting that one.

10. The family dog becomes your new best friend for the night.

Thank goodness for dogs.

11. But in the end, you know you love them.

"Bring it in, guys."

12. And just like that, another Christmas has come and gone.

And you're headed home for a peaceful Yuletide slumber.

Merry Christmas!

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

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?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"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:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
