Holidays And Long Distance As Told By The Grinch
Bethany Fulk

The holidays have been in full swing, and Christmas is now behind us. If you’re anything like me, Christmas is the most wonderful and magical time of the year. I live for the hot chocolate, the family time and the presents don’t hurt either. One thing that’s always hard though is the fact that my boyfriend lives hundreds of miles away and I can’t share my annoying love of Christmas with him. The feelings I have throughout the holiday season without him can be hard to explain to others who just don't understand or have their own significant others with them. Never fear, here's the Grinch on my feelings during the holidays in a long distance relationship.

When They Say It'll Go By Fast

Who are they kidding? The months will drag on.

When You Have No Idea What To Do When They Aren't There

Food becomes your only solace.

Waiting For Them To Text You Back Like

A minute seems like hours.

When You Try To Plan Your Days

What else are you supposed to do?

Seeing All Your Friends Post Cute Holiday Pictures With Their S/O

They're just having so much fun with each other! Why are they so cute! I want cute pictures!

When Bae Is Busy

You have no one else to talk to.

When You Get Invited Somewhere And Realize They Won't Be There

They would just love the ugly sweater party!

When They Say They'll Come See You

Counting down the days....

When You Finally See Them Again

YAY!!!!!

Don't let your heart shrink three size too small! The good news is, you'll see your boyfriend or girlfriend sooner than you think! In the meantime, don't forget to enjoy the season with your family and friends that are there. You can always Snapchat every moment to your love and it'll be like they were there the whole time. Good thing winter days are shorter than summer! You'll be back together in no time.

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.
