Out of all of the Christmas movies around, Dr. Suess' How the Grinch Stole Christmas is by far one of my faves! Although the original cartoon film is a classic, I can't help but love the Grinch played by Jim Carey. He is sarcastic, and brutally honest, two of my favorite things. Although he is a hairy, green, recluse living on top of a mountain, he is one of the most relatable characters of all time! So I've put together the top 20 moments in which the Grinch totally embodies the holidays!

1. Trying to console yourself after finals.

At least I tried hard!

2. Getting in your bed for the first time in months.

Nothing you can say will make me get up!

3. Trying to figure out who you should visit with.

Not everyone's bad... just all the people in the phone book.

4. Finding that perfect dress for the holiday party.

Gotta look good for the homies up North!

5. And realizing you don't have it.

If you've got nothing to wear, it's simple, you can't go out.

6. Trying to do everything you can over break.

Everyone's schedules are so busy during the holidays.

7. Making cameo appearances here and there.

Stop by, snag some food, and run!

8. But still leaving room for "me time."

It's important to schedule alone time, for your mental health!

9. When your mom says you need to get out of the house.

Fiiiiiiine.

10. And you see your squad for the first time.

I'm back fam!

11. Taking selfie after selfie with that good holiday lighting.

It would be a shame to waste an opportunity to bask in your own glory.

12. And stopping to admire all of the holiday decor.

Why can't everything sparkle all of the time?!?

13. Watching all of those Christmas movies that give you the feels.

I can't take these emotions!

14. Forcing your siblings to listen to all of those classic holiday jams!

How can you not want to listen to Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You"???

15. Trying every single holiday dessert known to exist.

No dessert shall go untasted!

16. And continuing to eat nonstop.

Why am I still eating? I don't even like these cookies.

17. Trying to fit in a little exercise here and there.

Any little thing counts!

18. Continuously having your self-depreciation validated by your siblings.

They're always a little too quick to shoot you down...

19. When someone brings up politics at a family gathering.

Nope. Just nope.

20. And last but not least... When you have to go shopping on Christmas eve.

Please, just let me buy this scarf and leave, I beg of you!

11 Moments Every College Freshman Has Experienced

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

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!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future. We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

1. "If I'm wearing black tomorrow, it's because I'm mourning my grade."

2. "Do you want to try ordering Chinese takeout to take back to the stacks?"

3. "This final paper has me questioning if this professor just sucks or is Satan himself."

4. "Is that person over there OK? They've been sleeping for a while."

5. "Why are you online shopping?"

"I want to motivate myself to study."

"Since when do you have money to buy something anyway?"

6. "I wonder how much I could make as a stripper."

7. "There are no stress relief dogs, and I feel conned. My stress today is worse than yesterday."

8. "Rate My Professor screwed me over."

9. "I wore these clothes yesterday, and maybe even the day before, but it's fine."

10. "I wonder if I could sneak a beer in here."

11. "I just really want chocolate chip cookies."

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.
