5 Reasons Why Everyone Can Relate To The Grinch

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.

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
