I'm sure you all over read Dr. Seuss' "How The Grinch Stole Christmas," as well as the live action film that debuted in 2000. Most of us have seen the movie, and I believe we can all agree that Jim Carrey's portrayal of the title character was pretty dang brilliant. Rather than the grumpy, furry Scrooge in the book, the film wrote the Grinch as being a green, lovable introvert. Here's a list of reasons why the Grinch is a boss and basically me.

1. He accurately described what we all do while looking through our high school yearbook.

Giphy

We all have those people.

2. He voiced one of the biggest first world problem of all.

Giphy

SAME.

3. He knew when it was necessary to leave the house.

Giphy

After at least four hours of Netflix and chill...

4. He was humble when it counted.

Giphy

After you, peasant.

5. He taught us we can't go out without the perfect outfit.

Giphy

Nope.

6. He experienced first hand that people could be cruel.

Giphy

"It's because I'm green, isn't it?!"

7. He was so blunt, it hurt.

Giphy

Well dang.

8. He taught us that alone time is essential.

Giphy

Stop putting off your "me time."

9. He was the first to experience the dreaded feels.

Giphy

IT HURTS.

10. He knew that healthy food was a big no-no.

Giphy

Forget the Who pudding. Get that roast beast!

11. He taught us how to love properly.

Giphy

" Oh Max. I love ya!"

12. He had no shame. None.

Giphy

"You're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch."

13. He knew the pain of unwanted, embarrassing memories.

Giphy

"Max! Fetch me my sedative!"

14. Did I mention his experience with the feels?

Giphy

"And they say his heart grew three sizes that day."

15. He expressed both the joy and dread of Christmas.

Giphy

It's both exciting and painful.

16. He knew how irritating people could be.

Giphy

This is literally me when someone is whining about something so stupid.

17. He taught us it's okay to cry.

Giphy

"I'm all...toasty inside."

18. He taught us to prioritize.

Giphy

"Solve world hunger. Tell no one."

19. He showed us to finish everything with grace.

Giphy

"I'm number one! I'm number one!"

20. He expressed the disdain of getting ugly clothes for Christmas.

Giphy

Especially the clothes your relatives get you... *shudder*

21. Speaking of Christmas, his description of its music was on point.

Giphy

I love it, yet despise it.

22. He was a softie underneath that green fur and spite, just like you and I.

Giphy

We're all good people on the inside. Don't let our outer grinches fool you.

23. He was all of us when we declared we were going to shed some pounds.

Giphy

"Yes! Down a size and a half!"

24. And lastly, he told us the sad truth about children.

Giphy

"How dare you enter The Grinch's lair?!"

Just like Mr. Grinch, don't touch me with a thirty nine and a half foot pole!

15 Female TV Characters Who Prove That Women Actually Rule

The women who are taking over the television game

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

11 Things You'll Understand If You Act Sassy AF But You're Actually A Really Nice Person

Ugh, why is it so hard to be mean?

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
