You might be the Grinch if...

Are you a mean one? Are you as cuddly as a cactus?

All the Who's down in Whoville are the readiest for Christmas more than anyone else. They've had their homes decorated since the day after Halloween (I'm sure of it) and they've wrapped a present every day of the month.

Who's down in Whoville prepare for their Who-feast, with plenty of roast beast. They wear their most outrageous clothing for Christmas, where no sweater is too ugly, and everyone is welcome to participate in Whoville festivities.

But what about those that aren't big fans of Christmas? What about those whose ears burn when they hear "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" or "All I want for Christmas is You"? And those that hate wrapping presents or can't ever seem to find something nice to wear for Christmas dinner?

If you feel like you're one of those people, well, you might just be the Grinch.

Being a Grinch isn't all that bad. You're usually left alone year round, to wallow in your own self-pity, while feeling an intense amount of self-loathing. You stress eat, eat up all your feelings, and even eat when you're bored. It's just an easier life when you're a Grinch. Sure, you're as charming as an eel and your heart's an empty hole and you've got all the tender sweetness as a seasick crocodile, but at least you're one mean green machine!

So, you might be a Grinch if:

You can't find an outfit, so you've decided you're not going out anymore.

Your only friend is a mangy, yet adorable, dog.

You hate feelings. Every feeling. All feelings.

You have big plans, like solving world hunger, but telling no one. 

You hate parties and social gatherings, especially Ugly Christmas Sweater parties.

You hate Christmas songs. 

You're awkward in every social interaction, ever.

You like to eat, and eat, and eat.

You're full of yourself, but you also hate yourself.

You might just have a soft spot for Christmas after all.

Maybe.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
