11 Times All College Students Turn Into 'The Grinch'
Instagram

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
