10 Ways The Grinch Is Relatable to College Students

Here's a list of reasons why college students and the Grinch correlate.

1. He has a love/hate relationship with Whoville.

One who attends college most likely has many days where they absolutely hate everything about their college, but there are also days when their respective college seems like the best place ever. Just like the Grinch it's a love then hate then love again cycle.


2. He hates the holidays.

Now I'm not saying all college students hate the holiday times, but the amount of projects and finals before winter break are enough to make any student not be in a festive mood.


3. He has a million things to do, but has no time to do everything.

Just like in the movie where the Grinch checks his to-do list, college students tend to have 10,000,000 million things to do. Chances are much of those things will be procrastinated upon or not get done all depending the level of motivation one has.


4. He parties (kind of).

It's pretty safe to say that many, many, many college students like to party and just like the Grinch attending the festival of cheer, they'll probably end up feeling not too well after eating a bunch of fudge and consuming too much...eggnog.


5. He hides his identity.

When something embarrassing happens in college, you'll most likely want to hide your face from the world just as the Grinch does with his mask.


6. He eats garbage.

Even though the Grinch eats literal garbage, many college students only have to time to grab a bag of chips, make some ramen, or buy some fast food before it's time to go off to study.


7. He is a loner.

This doesn't go for all college students, but chances are you're either alone or mostly alone during many parts of the day wishing you could be doing something other than studying.


8. He's crafty.

There may be one point in time when you have to fix a hem in that dress you ripped or use a needle and thread to repair those jeans with the torn stitching. Being a broke college student leaves plenty of room for using some creativity to save money.


9. His heart grows and shrinks.

College is a time for you to meet new people. Now depending on the cicumstances, the people that you first make friends with, might turn out to not be who you thought they were. Just like the Grinch, you're level of trust and respect will either grow or shrink throughout the semesters.


10. He has big hopes and dreams.

Although the Grinch's desires were to take over Christmas and destroy his enemies, the average college student can relate in the sense that they tend to yearn for the type of dream job that they see many celebrities or young entrepreneurs pursuing. Santa was a celebrity to the Grinch the same way Steve Jobs is viewed as an inspiring and successful businessman to the young American.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
