I'm sure you all over read Dr. Seuss' "How The Grinch Stole Christmas," as well as the live action film that debuted in 2000. Most of us have seen the movie, and I believe we can all agree that Jim Carrey's portrayal of the title character was pretty dang brilliant. Rather than the grumpy, furry Scrooge in the book, the film wrote the Grinch as being a green, lovable introvert. Here's a list of reasons why the Grinch is a boss and basically me.

1. He accurately described what we all do while looking through our high school yearbook.

Giphy

We all have those people.

2. He voiced one of the biggest first world problem of all.

Giphy

SAME.

3. He knew when it was necessary to leave the house.

Giphy

After at least four hours of Netflix and chill...

4. He was humble when it counted.

Giphy

After you, peasant.

5. He taught us we can't go out without the perfect outfit.

Giphy

Nope.

6. He experienced first hand that people could be cruel.

Giphy

"It's because I'm green, isn't it?!"

7. He was so blunt, it hurt.

Giphy

Well dang.

8. He taught us that alone time is essential.

Giphy

Stop putting off your "me time."

9. He was the first to experience the dreaded feels.

Giphy

IT HURTS.

10. He knew that healthy food was a big no-no.

Giphy

Forget the Who pudding. Get that roast beast!

11. He taught us how to love properly.

Giphy

" Oh Max. I love ya!"

12. He had no shame. None.

Giphy

"You're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch."

13. He knew the pain of unwanted, embarrassing memories.

Giphy

"Max! Fetch me my sedative!"

14. Did I mention his experience with the feels?

Giphy

"And they say his heart grew three sizes that day."

15. He expressed both the joy and dread of Christmas.

Giphy

It's both exciting and painful.

16. He knew how irritating people could be.

Giphy

This is literally me when someone is whining about something so stupid.

17. He taught us it's okay to cry.

Giphy

"I'm all...toasty inside."

18. He taught us to prioritize.

Giphy

"Solve world hunger. Tell no one."

19. He showed us to finish everything with grace.

Giphy

"I'm number one! I'm number one!"

20. He expressed the disdain of getting ugly clothes for Christmas.

Giphy

Especially the clothes your relatives get you... *shudder*

21. Speaking of Christmas, his description of its music was on point.

Giphy

I love it, yet despise it.

22. He was a softie underneath that green fur and spite, just like you and I.

Giphy

We're all good people on the inside. Don't let our outer grinches fool you.

23. He was all of us when we declared we were going to shed some pounds.

Giphy

"Yes! Down a size and a half!"

24. And lastly, he told us the sad truth about children.

Giphy

"How dare you enter The Grinch's lair?!"

Just like Mr. Grinch, don't touch me with a thirty nine and a half foot pole!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
