11 Times All College Students Turn Into 'The Grinch'

In This Article:

The 18th anniversary of "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" just passed and it's pretty common knowledge that Jim Carrey is the greatest Grinch there ever was. The Grinch character in general is pretty amazing though and I think the pessimism always relates well to college students. These are just some of the times the Grinch was hella relatable.

1. When your professor doesn't round your 68.4% to an A

How dare they?

​2. When you're trying really hard to fit self care into your schedule

Self care really is important whether that be taking a nap, hanging out with friends, or not engaging in gossiping.

​3. But then you think about how much you actually hate yourself

You know what? Self care is hard.

​4. When you've run out of productive things to do or you're just procrastinating

Sometimes you're just in the mood for food.

​5. When your roommates do something nice for you

My roommates are my rocks and I have no idea what I'd do without them. I'd definitely be having a lot more mental breakdowns.

​6. When someone assumes you won't do absolutely anything for free food

Free food is a college kid's dream.

​7. Staring at the list of things you need to get done by the end of the semester

The semester is almost over, we can do this.

​8. How you look getting ready to go out to the bars

I go through at least four outfit changes every time I go out.

​9. The feeling when someone takes your unassigned assigned parking spot

This and when people sit in your unassigned assigned seat in class. UGH.

​10. When people in your group project aren't helping but you stay calm enough to turn it in

People can just be so annoying.

​11. Just the general feeling about being an adult

I just wanna go back to being in elementary school tbh.

The Grinch is the OG angsty college kid and I think we should all celebrate our role model by watching "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" asap. Keep track of how many things he says that are constantly running through your mind.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
