College Told Through Elf On The Shelf

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.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.
