Secret Grinch Moments We All Have: College Edition

Let us all come to accept that we can relate to this green, hairy, monster more than we'd like to admit.

Secret Grinch Moments We All Have: College Edition

As much as we don't want to face it, we all have a little bit of the "Grinch Syndrome." Whenever "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" comes on, we look at the TV and think, "I understand this sad, scary man." Every day of the week we can find ourselves relating to this green, gross, hairy monster that we've all come to know and love. It's totally fine. But with the holidays approaching it should be acceptable, right?

Buying all the required books for our classes that we will never open


In the beginning of the year, we always set goals for ourselves. “I'm going to buy all the required books and read every chapter as we go along in class.” Yeah, right. But as the semester chugs along, our brains begin to infuse with hatred towards these books. We despise the existence of these books and learning, school, homework, tests, and learning once again.


Because my meal plan says I can visit the cafeteria whenever I'd like

Write the five-page paper due on Monday? Nah. Read chapter seven of your psychology book? Nah. Study for exam on Friday? Nah. Hang out with friends? Nah. Eat? Always.


I guess I'll just stop trying to be a student now

When you raise your hand confidently because you think you have the correct answer, but you’re totally off and your professor puts you in your place. Shot down quick.


I didn't actually bomb that test if I don't remember it, right?

When you're more than confident that the only thing you got right on your paper was the answer next to "Name."


"It's OK. I'm totally fine." *Sweat slowly drips down face*

College: Having two five-page papers due Monday, a presentation on Tuesday, a seven-chapter test on Friday, and no time to not completely lose it. Yes, our schedules are booked always. Yes, we're at prime-time insanity.


When you have the amount of emotions/personalities to fill up a room of 20 people

Hello. I'm happy, sad, anxious, silly, and angry all in one -- nice to meet you, too.


After spending your entire day in bed

Days of isolating yourself grow old, and you realize you haven't talked to anyone but your mom and yourself.


Who doesn't love quality time spent with me, myself and I

Are you kidding me? You did not seriously just knock on my door and come into my room while I was napping did you? Remove yourself.


Subtweeting every guy who thinks it's okay to look like a Lumberjack

Guys, please do not participate in "No-Shave November." That is all.


Trying to focus on studies and restrain yourself from screaming "1738" when Fetty comes on

The sickening moment where you're stuck writing a 10-page paper, and everyone in your dorm is bumping music getting ready to go out on a Saturday night.


Nails not done. Hair not done. Everything not done. We're on the college budget

Early classes are a blow. You think I’m getting all dressed up for my 7:45? Heck no. But we still cute though.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
