20 Signs You're Actually the Grinch
How The Grinch Stole Christmas

As a child, The Grinch was an entertaining story of a scary green "villain" who finds the value in Christmas and is redeemed at the very end. Because at that age, you can relate to the Who's overwhelming love of Christmas.

But as you grow up, you realize that the Grinch may not actually be the villain of this story. In fact, you start to see that it has become easier to relate to the Who's resident shut-in.

Maybe the Grinch wasn't evil after all. Poor guy was probably just sick of the holiday crowds and simply wanted to be left alone with his pet and Netflix. And what's so wrong with that?

If you can relate with that, chances are the Grinch is your spirit animal.

1. You react to most things like this:


(Especially people.)


2. This is you when you go shopping or hang out with other people:


3. So you're probably more inclined to stay at home.



4. And are pretty upset when someone comes by. Especially if they do so uninvited.



5. But there are times you do get a little lonely.


6. And as long as they don't talk too much, it's all good.



7. You keep your schedule super busy.



8. But you always leave yourself time for the important things in life.


9. You find that you're sometimes faced with life's most important questions.


10. There are moments you feel randomly happy.



11. And others that make you consider adding "Life Alert" to your Christmas list.


12. With all of these feelings, you're probably overanalyzing a few things.


13. Speaking of feelings, everyone else is probably still randomly inviting you to events that all overlap each other.


14. Outfits determine whether or not you go.


15. And sometimes you go just to make others feel as uncomfortable as you feel.


16. Some people may think you're "too mean for Christmas."


17. Or may flat out tell you to "grow a heart."


18. But who cares? You crack yourself up, and that's what matters.


19. You grumble and groan at the beginning of the Christmas season.


20. But eventually, you succumb to the holiday spirit.


Don't worry. We still love you, Grinch!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
