Why You’re Actually The Grinch

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCT chapter.

Christmas is coming. If the thought of the holidays fills you with terror, and you can’t stand retail stores with premature decorations, you don’t need a Buzzfeed quiz to find out which Christmas character you are. The Grinch is the voice of our generation, the spokesperson for most young adults who would rather be at home with their dog than go out and talk to people. Still not convinced? Here are 8 reasons why you are The Grinch this Christmas:

1. You hate socialising

 

2. Christmas leftovers tempt you more than Satan

 

3. Your schedule is jam-packed with important activities…

 

4. …VERY important activities

 

5. You scare small children

 

6. You have no chill

 

7. You leave Christmas gift shopping ’til the last minute

 

8. You secretly have the biggest heart
