I've never related to anybody more.

So we all know who the Grinch is, right? It's one of my favorite movies no matter what time of year, and I find myself relating to him more and more as I get older! I think a twenty-something year old human who is (kind of) an adult can definitely relate to a lot of the things he says and does. Here are some of them!

1. You struggle between watching Netflix and actually being social when you have free time.

We all need a nice night out every once in awhile, but laying in your bed covered with a pile of blankets sounds so much more appealing!

2. You do a variety of things as a result of boredom.

Ever find yourself eating straight out of a tub of ice cream when you should be studying or doing something productive? Because I sure do...

3. You sometimes have days where you just can't do anything right.

Do you sometimes seem to feel like, well, an idiot? Don't worry, we all feel like that every now and then! Just take one step at a time!

4. You sometimes tend to just....lay there and question everything about life.

And it seems to happen more often than not!

5. When you're really struggling in a class and just can't find any motivation:

We have to have at least one every year!

6. The struggle between staying in and going out on the weekends:

But your bed is so cozy!

7. When you have a crush and don't know what to do about it:

Been there done that!

8. When you can't seem to find time for yourself...

As much as you try, you can't seem to sit down and take some time for yourself!


I don't think I've ever related to anything more in my life. We love you, Mr. Grinch!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
