"Elf" in Real Life: 8 Quotes from the Movie Can Be Loved All Year Round
Screenprism

It is the holiday season. We all love holiday movies. From "The Christmas Story" to "Its A Wonderful Life," Christmas movies never seem to get old and are always a welcome treat when that time of the year rolls around... or even in the summer (no shame).

Though every Christmas movie is thoroughly enjoyable, I keep gravitating towards the movie "Elf." Every time I watch this magnificent Christmas movie creation, I believe it gets even better. Quotes from the movie come out of my mouth like every day conversation and this continues throughout the year. Here are my favorite lines from the movie Elf and the perfect situation in real life to implement them.

1. "He's an angry elf."

This can be used in various types of conversations. The most common: observing an angry interaction or seeing a sportsperson get angry live or on TV.

2. "Why is your coat so big? So, good news - I saw a dog today. Have you seen a dog? You probably have. How was school? Was it fun? Did you get a lot of homework? Huh? Do you have any friends? Do you have a best friend? Does he have a big coat, too?"

Awkward moment breaker. Pick any question from this above paragraph.

3. "SON of a NUTcracker!"

Swearing happens... but it does not have too if you use this phrase! The most common: the stubbed toe, the driving mistake. See also "1. "He's an angry elf."

4. "Buddy the Elf, what's your favorite color?"

This quote can be used in any and all occasions. Buddy uses this when he answers the phone in the movie and is the most common usage. Try it next time your best friend calls. Ready go.

5. "I love smiling, smiling's my favorite."

When can you use this? All day everyday. Such a happy statement that should be used oh so often.

6. "You did it! Congratulations guys! "World's Best Cup of Coffee."Great job, everybody. It's great to meet you."

Use this quote when someone does something fantastic... even if it does not involve coffee.

7. "I'm sorry I ruined your lives, and crammed eleven cookies into the VCR."

Casually awesome sorry statement. The most common use: when there is a small mixup, or an apology has already happened. This can be used to break the ice and make it less awkward!

8. Mr. Narwhal: "Bye buddy, I hope you find your dad!" Buddy: "Thanks Mr. Narwhal."

Obviously this can be used to say goodbye to someone. They may not expect the "I hope you find your dad" aspect of this farewell which will make it that much better. Use this quote as much as possible. The reactions are awesome.

See how applicable "Elf" is year round? You are welcome.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
