Secret Grinch Moments We All Have: College Edition

Let us all come to accept that we can relate to this green, hairy, monster more than we'd like to admit.

Secret Grinch Moments We All Have: College Edition

As much as we don't want to face it, we all have a little bit of the "Grinch Syndrome." Whenever "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" comes on, we look at the TV and think, "I understand this sad, scary man." Every day of the week we can find ourselves relating to this green, gross, hairy monster that we've all come to know and love. It's totally fine. But with the holidays approaching it should be acceptable, right?

Buying all the required books for our classes that we will never open


In the beginning of the year, we always set goals for ourselves. “I'm going to buy all the required books and read every chapter as we go along in class.” Yeah, right. But as the semester chugs along, our brains begin to infuse with hatred towards these books. We despise the existence of these books and learning, school, homework, tests, and learning once again.


Because my meal plan says I can visit the cafeteria whenever I'd like

Write the five-page paper due on Monday? Nah. Read chapter seven of your psychology book? Nah. Study for exam on Friday? Nah. Hang out with friends? Nah. Eat? Always.


I guess I'll just stop trying to be a student now

When you raise your hand confidently because you think you have the correct answer, but you’re totally off and your professor puts you in your place. Shot down quick.


I didn't actually bomb that test if I don't remember it, right?

When you're more than confident that the only thing you got right on your paper was the answer next to "Name."


"It's OK. I'm totally fine." *Sweat slowly drips down face*

College: Having two five-page papers due Monday, a presentation on Tuesday, a seven-chapter test on Friday, and no time to not completely lose it. Yes, our schedules are booked always. Yes, we're at prime-time insanity.


When you have the amount of emotions/personalities to fill up a room of 20 people

Hello. I'm happy, sad, anxious, silly, and angry all in one -- nice to meet you, too.


After spending your entire day in bed

Days of isolating yourself grow old, and you realize you haven't talked to anyone but your mom and yourself.


Who doesn't love quality time spent with me, myself and I

Are you kidding me? You did not seriously just knock on my door and come into my room while I was napping did you? Remove yourself.


Subtweeting every guy who thinks it's okay to look like a Lumberjack

Guys, please do not participate in "No-Shave November." That is all.


Trying to focus on studies and restrain yourself from screaming "1738" when Fetty comes on

The sickening moment where you're stuck writing a 10-page paper, and everyone in your dorm is bumping music getting ready to go out on a Saturday night.


Nails not done. Hair not done. Everything not done. We're on the college budget

Early classes are a blow. You think I’m getting all dressed up for my 7:45? Heck no. But we still cute though.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
