On a personal level.

The Grinch may have been seen as different or unusual in Whoville, but on a college campus or in the real world in general, the Grinch just might be the most relatable one of all!

1. He eats when he's bored or emotional. 

Because who doesn't eat an entire bag of potato chips when they have nothing better to do? Or an entire carton of ice cream when they're emotions are getting the best of them?

2. He can't go out if he doesn't have the perfect outfit. 

My closet may look like its full of clothes, but don't let that fool you, I still may not have a single outfit to wear out. Or at least that's the excuse I use when I don't want to go somewhere.

3. He has people who gets under his skin a little too much. 

Whether its a life long enemy or a newly met acquaintance, there is someone out their who irritates us until our very last nerve is shot.

4. He only goes out when free food and gifts are involved. 

Let's be honest, we wouldn't go to half of the events we go to if it weren't for the free food or gifts we were promised in advance.

5. His dog is his best friend.

Do you find yourself talking to your dog? Possibly talking to your dog more than any actual humans? Yeah, me too.

Maybe the Grinch isn't all so different after all. Maybe, in fact, he is absolutely the most relatable of all.

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.
