11 Seinfeld Quotes To Live By
Hulu

For the past month, I've been binge-watching all of "Seinfeld" --the cherry on top of a two-year obsession with the renowned "show about nothing." During this time, I've learned many valuable life lessons. I've also learned how to differentiate which season a clip is from based on the style of Elaine's hair. I've understood all of the running jokes that one doesn't catch onto when sporadically watching randomly assorted episodes. And most importantly, I learned that there is definitely something to this show about nothing. So this is the perfect opportunity to pass some of my newly acquired knowledge onto you.


1. "I gotta focus. I'm shifting into soup mode."

Sometimes, some things are so important that you've got to block out everything else. For example, overcoming temptation to procrastinate online instead of studying, or instead of chatting while waiting in line for the best soup in New York City.

2. "Not that there's anything wrong with that."

You've gotta respect the way other people live their lives. They may be different from you, but just remember their thoughts and feelings.


3. "I had to take a sick day. I'm sick of these people."

Every once in a while, nothing is better than just taking some time off for yourself.

4. "My name is George. I'm unemployed and I live with my parents."

You've gotta be true to yourself. Although this directly contradicts another of his famous lines, "It's not a lie if you believe it."

5. "No way wine is better than Pepsi."

Oftentimes, it's the simple things in life that make us feel the best.

6. "I proclaim this the Summer of George!"

You've got plenty of reasons to be hopeful. Wish for the best for yourself and everybody else in everything.


7. "This was supposed to be the Summer of George."

Things won't always go the way you expect them to or want them to. Sometimes you've just got to resign yourself to that fact.

8. "Serenity now!"

Whenever you're feeling overwhelmed by anything, just utter this line. It'll help relieve stress. And nobody said you didn't have to shout it.


9. "Well the Jerk Store called, and they're running out of you!"

A handy line for whenever somebody is giving you crap. Known as possibly the best comeback ever.

10. "These pretzels are making me thirsty!"

Stay hydrated, kids. Become a citizen of the hydration nation.

11. "I am down. I am totally down. Mark me down!"

Sometimes in life, you've got to jump into things headfirst. You've gotta be eager, and maybe even wear a backwards hat. You've gotta try new things. Whenever anybody asks me if I want to watch Seinfeld, this is how I reply.


So now you've gained some new perspective and some handy life advice. Go use it!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
