10 'Seinfeld' Quotes That Relate To The Stress Of Finals Week

As someone one who grew up in the 90s, I have always been a devoted fan of "Seinfeld." It has been called “the show about nothing,” but as many of us know, the series followed around a group of four individuals who mostly complained about other people. Who can’t relate to that, right? Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer always seem to find something to criticize while discussing “the excruciating minutia of every single daily event,” as Elaine told Jerry one episode. Although the show’s last episode aired in 1998, fans have been able to enjoy re-runs and always remember life’s daily struggles as told by the unforgettable foursome.

With finals week quickly approaching for many of us, a few quotes from the beloved sitcom come to mind.

1. When Jerry and Elaine were discussing people on a plane…


Elaine: “I will never understand people.”
Jerry: “They’re the worst.”

2. We can all relate to the fear of this feeling…

“Hi, my name is George, I’m unemployed and I live with my parents.”

3. The sweatpants debate…

“You know the message you're sending out to the world with these sweatpants? You're telling the world, 'I give up. I can't compete in normal society. I'm miserable, so I might as well be comfortable.'”

4. When George and Kramer were discussing George’s life prospects…

Kramer: “Do you have any conceivable reason for even getting up in the morning?
George: “I like to get the Daily News.”

5. And who can’t relate to George’s lifelong dream of *pretending* to be an architect,

“You know, I always wanted to be pretend I was an architect.”

6. Elaine’s thoughts on going to work…

“I had to take a sick day, I’m so sick of these people.”

7. Some more of George’s words of wisdom regarding lying…AKA how we all feel while turning in our finals

“Just remember, it’s not a lie if you believe it”

8. George feeling confident about his life’s achievements...

“You know, if you take everything I’ve done in my entire life and condense it down to one day, it looks decent.”

9. Story of our lives…

“I love a good nap, sometimes it’s the only thing getting me up in the morning.”

10. When finals week and the semester finally come to an end and we’re ready to celebrate

“Here’s to feeling good all the time, huh?”

So instead of studying for finals, I will now binge watch "Seinfeld" for the millionth time and laugh just as hard as ever. Thank you to a show that has defined a generation, and still remains just as relevant and hilarious today.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
