11 Times All College Students Turn Into 'The Grinch'

Instagram

The 18th anniversary of "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" just passed and it's pretty common knowledge that Jim Carrey is the greatest Grinch there ever was. The Grinch character in general is pretty amazing though and I think the pessimism always relates well to college students. These are just some of the times the Grinch was hella relatable.

1. When your professor doesn't round your 68.4% to an A

How dare they?

2. When you're trying really hard to fit self care into your schedule

Self care really is important whether that be taking a nap, hanging out with friends, or not engaging in gossiping.

3. But then you think about how much you actually hate yourself

You know what? Self care is hard.

4. When you've run out of productive things to do or you're just procrastinating

Sometimes you're just in the mood for food.

5. When your roommates do something nice for you

My roommates are my rocks and I have no idea what I'd do without them. I'd definitely be having a lot more mental breakdowns.

6. When someone assumes you won't do absolutely anything for free food

Free food is a college kid's dream.

7. Staring at the list of things you need to get done by the end of the semester

The semester is almost over, we can do this.

8. How you look getting ready to go out to the bars

I go through at least four outfit changes every time I go out.

9. The feeling when someone takes your unassigned assigned parking spot

This and when people sit in your unassigned assigned seat in class. UGH.

10. When people in your group project aren't helping but you stay calm enough to turn it in

People can just be so annoying.

11. Just the general feeling about being an adult

I just wanna go back to being in elementary school tbh.

The Grinch is the OG angsty college kid and I think we should all celebrate our role model by watching "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" asap. Keep track of how many things he says that are constantly running through your mind.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
