The Grinch

Every year, a little before December 1st comes around, ABC Family (now weirdly known as, Freeform) will announce their Twenty Five Days of Christmas movie schedule. While most will search for Elf, Fred Clause, or Christmas With the Kranks…I immediately look for The Grinch. No, not the cartoon version, though that is a classic. I am talking about the Jim Carrey and once adorable Taylor Momsen version.

As a child I always loved this movie. I loved the make up, the costumes, music and all that came with Whoville. As a young adult, I love all that and more including the sometimes subtle, yet crazy humor that goes along with it.


Here are a few of my many favorite Grinch moments…

Now if this isn't an accurate and oh so satisfying way to describe something...I'm not sure what is!

Relatable? Yes. The answer is yes.


When you've just had enough of the "Holly Jolly" Christmas.

When you've tried...but didn't really try at all.

...We've all had this contemplation. But first, I need to check my schedule to see what excuses I may be able to come up with...

Lastly, the greatest excuse yet...

Then when you finally figure you can make time to grace those with your presence, the issue of an outfit comes to play. While searching for the perfect outfit, you go through what seems like millions of different options.

"It's not a dress, it's a kilt! Sicko!"

We've all been there and it is safe to say that the Grinch understands us when your morale is low.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
