Love him or hate him, he’s a classic Christmas character who you have more in common with than you think! Here’s why…
You take advantage of free stuff no matter when where or what it is
You know you’re suave at “the game”
Tonight in the dining hall…and every other night…
This is as close as you get to alcohol
What your plans look like at the beginning of the day
What your plans look like at the end of the day
When your mom decides to transfer extra money to your bank account because you’ve spent it all on “school books” and “binders for class”
When you’ve made your fourth trip to the dining hall and it isn’t even 2pm yet
Your struggle every morning before lecture and every evening before going out
Your conclusion after trying on every single item in your closet
When you find out the BU bus schedule actually isn’t accurate and the bus actually isn’t coming
You after experiencing your first frat party (because it isn’t actually as cool and fun as in the movies)
When your professor praises your intellectual comment in front of everyone in class
You all day every day
Noticing your roommate vacuumed your dorm room floor for you
Going through your old high school yearbook…
And get to that one know-it-all kid
When you’re drunk at a party and suddenly realize how soon Christmas is
When you hear someone talking about discounts around the corner
When you finally sign up for Netflix
When you find your roommate left extra food in the fridge
What you feel like saying when your RA walks into your room
You’ve thought about becoming a full time stripper at one point in your life if college fails
Because you know you should go out tonight but you’d rather stay in bed and stalk peoples’ Instagrams and eat candy from the CityCo
You and your friends entering the dining hall
You’re great at the memoir section in the required writing classes
When you think you’ll somehow find a way to stop your final exams from coming but then you realize you can’t (and they’re actually a real thing that are about to screw up your life)
When you realize one of your required courses for next semester is an 8 am lecture
All your friends get care packages but you don’t
You wait until the last minute for Christmas shopping
Communicating with your friends on the other side of campus
When you realize you’re not Dean Elmore (the equivalent to Beyonce for non-BU students)
When you realize, someone actually dressed up for class and you didn’t
When a sales associate doesn’t let you return a dress you bought for one night because the tag is missing
When you realize everyone else has decorated their dorm room for Christmas but you haven’t
When you actually FOR ONCE see a cute guy on campus and fall instantly in love
How you feel when you don’t get IDd at a bar or club
When you realize Freshman 15 is ACTUALLY a real thing
When the alcohol finally kicks in at a party and you’re suddenly having the best night of your life
You will ALWAYS find an excuse not to go to FitRec
Deep down, no matter how grinchy you are, you love Christmas more than any other time of the year
