Out of all of the Christmas movies around, Dr. Suess' How the Grinch Stole Christmas is by far one of my faves! Although the original cartoon film is a classic, I can't help but love the Grinch played by Jim Carey. He is sarcastic, and brutally honest, two of my favorite things. Although he is a hairy, green, recluse living on top of a mountain, he is one of the most relatable characters of all time! So I've put together the top 20 moments in which the Grinch totally embodies the holidays!

1. Trying to console yourself after finals.

At least I tried hard!

2. Getting in your bed for the first time in months.

Nothing you can say will make me get up!

3. Trying to figure out who you should visit with.

Not everyone's bad... just all the people in the phone book.

4. Finding that perfect dress for the holiday party.

Gotta look good for the homies up North!

5. And realizing you don't have it.

If you've got nothing to wear, it's simple, you can't go out.

6. Trying to do everything you can over break.

Everyone's schedules are so busy during the holidays.

7. Making cameo appearances here and there.

Stop by, snag some food, and run!

8. But still leaving room for "me time."

It's important to schedule alone time, for your mental health!

9. When your mom says you need to get out of the house.

Fiiiiiiine.

10. And you see your squad for the first time.

I'm back fam!

11. Taking selfie after selfie with that good holiday lighting.

It would be a shame to waste an opportunity to bask in your own glory.

12. And stopping to admire all of the holiday decor.

Why can't everything sparkle all of the time?!?

13. Watching all of those Christmas movies that give you the feels.

I can't take these emotions!

14. Forcing your siblings to listen to all of those classic holiday jams!

How can you not want to listen to Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You"???

15. Trying every single holiday dessert known to exist.

No dessert shall go untasted!

16. And continuing to eat nonstop.

Why am I still eating? I don't even like these cookies.

17. Trying to fit in a little exercise here and there.

Any little thing counts!

18. Continuously having your self-depreciation validated by your siblings.

They're always a little too quick to shoot you down...

19. When someone brings up politics at a family gathering.

Nope. Just nope.

20. And last but not least... When you have to go shopping on Christmas eve.

Please, just let me buy this scarf and leave, I beg of you!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
