On a personal level.

The Grinch may have been seen as different or unusual in Whoville, but on a college campus or in the real world in general, the Grinch just might be the most relatable one of all!

1. He eats when he's bored or emotional. 

Giphy

Because who doesn't eat an entire bag of potato chips when they have nothing better to do? Or an entire carton of ice cream when they're emotions are getting the best of them?

2. He can't go out if he doesn't have the perfect outfit. 

Giphy

My closet may look like its full of clothes, but don't let that fool you, I still may not have a single outfit to wear out. Or at least that's the excuse I use when I don't want to go somewhere.

3. He has people who gets under his skin a little too much. 

Giphy

Whether its a life long enemy or a newly met acquaintance, there is someone out their who irritates us until our very last nerve is shot.

4. He only goes out when free food and gifts are involved. 

Giphy

Let's be honest, we wouldn't go to half of the events we go to if it weren't for the free food or gifts we were promised in advance.

5. His dog is his best friend. 

Giphy

Do you find yourself talking to your dog? Possibly talking to your dog more than any actual humans? Yeah, me too.

Maybe the Grinch isn't all so different after all. Maybe, in fact, he is absolutely the most relatable of all.

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.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
