The winter holidays are upon us, which gives me the perfect excuse to ramble on about my favorite Christmas movie character; the Grinch. He is bitter, ill- tempered, comical, and surprisingly sensitive. Furthermore, he is a perfect personification of your typical college girl.

1. He understands that the process of getting ready to go out for the night is actually an ordeal.

"I don't know what to wear." "I can only wear this outfit if my hair is curled." "These shoes look so great with this but they're not bar shoes." "I have the most perfect outfit in mind but I don't own one item of clothing that I need for it." "Haha okay this looked so much better in my mind."

2. He also understands that for about 99.9% of the time, you're going to hate everything you try on.

You always end up going though.

3. He tries so hard to discard THOSE memories.

Delete those pictures. Delete those texts. Delete that tweet. You and your friends understand that if there's no evidence to look back on then it didn't happen.

4. He's got every excuse in the book.

Last Spring I literally emailed my professor a picture of my migraine prescription medicine because I ran out of reasons as to why I'd been absent so much. It was a desperate time.

5. The answer is almost always yes.

I like to tell myself that snacking helps me study. Especially popcorn. Seriously, it's brain food.

6. Catching the feels in college is usually just a no.

Guys are fun and all but when you start having the slightest feelings for one at this age, you have entered one dangerous territory my friend.

7. The "Sophomore Slump" is oh so very real.

Netflix, food, a bed with a perfectly constructed dent in it that matches my body, and roommates who I can call out to if I'm really feeling social. Yeah, I'm fine staying in tonight. Again.

8. That time in every semester where your life seems like a complete joke and you're already planning your future nap after your alarm clock goes off.

What makes it even sadder is that I go to bed with the motivation to wake up earlier to drive to the gym before class but end up turning that alarm clock off and then barely making it to my actual class.

9. We're all idiots but we're learning. It's okay.

I hate to be cliche but it really is okay to be stupid and make mistakes right now. As long as there's something you can take away from it.
