Six Signs That You're The Grinch Amongst Christmas Lovers

For as long as I can remember, I've never been able to understand the hype around Christmas. Maybe it's because, for the majority of my life, I've lived in a place where snow is a definite improbability (especially now. Thanks, global warming). Maybe twenty years of Christmas classics killed my December joy. Maybe it's the hipster deep down inside of me, rebelling against everyone's favorite— our country's most commercialized holiday. From personal experience, here are six signs that your skin tone might have taken on a green hue because you're the Grinch.


1. You're the first to switch radio stations when Christmas music plays on the air.

December 25th would be too early for Christmas carols.

2. You mentally restrain yourself from enjoying the predictable, cheesy endings of holiday blockbusters.

This Christmas horror movie, Krampus, looks like the choice for me.

3. You've commented more than once on houses with the Christmas-themed laser light projectors and their striking similarities to severe cases of the measles.


Every lazy person's favorite holiday decoration.

4. You do not own a tacky Christmas sweater.

No, an equally-tacky Christmas vest is not considered "something nice to wear," either.

5. Out of all of your friends' houses, yours is the least decorated for the holidays.

Keep your stockings and tinsel far away from me.

6. You actively try to earn a spot on the "Naughty List" each year.

Curse Santa and his annual presents under the tree. I'm certain that, at this point, he's just doing it to spite me.


It's okay, fellow Grinches. Maybe they'll understand us next December.

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.
