Whoever said we were too old for elf on the shelf? Heck, I'll never be too old for good old Saint Nick, let alone my good old friend Elfie! With all my final projects and exams at the end of the December, it can be hard to remember your name, let alone remembering that Christmas is right around the corner. So, in order to keep up the Christmas spirit, I decided to continue on my "mom" title in my suite and displayed an elf on the shelf for my roommate. You know, just to help Santa out. But through the process of setting one up each night, I realized many of them ended up a bit more relatable than I felt comfortable to admit. I guess my subconscious was telling me something...or my grades were telling me I should be studying instead. Whoops.

1. You're a poor college student, living off ramen and golf fish.

2. This is what a lot of our Friday and Saturday nights look like in Winter, because well...Nutella...I mean its too cold to go out.

3. You've attempted all-nighters, but never fully quite make it through and regret it always the next day.

4. You are always trying to avoid the freshman 15...wait are those marshmallows???

5. Sometimes you just get homesick and end up cuddling up into a blanket- wanting your mommy.
