4 Reasons Every Character From 'Seinfeld' Is The Friend You Need

As a former 90s baby and forever fan of all things oldie, my interest in TV shows shifted to a time in the 90s and it is more relatable than ever. While this show might be an “oldie,” it’s still very much a “goodie.” The show revolves around one or two of the most low-key, applicable daily situations that not everyone talks about. Each character of the show Seinfeld attributes to the ideal type of friend everyone needs, and here’s why.

Jerry Seinfeld


The level-headed, neat freak who finds time to turn some of the most unfortunate situations a joke. The one who will take a stand when a neighbor tries to sell you illegal cable. The one who knows how to help any friend, regardless of how absurd a situation may be.

Elaine Benes


The strong-headed, too-smart-for-her-own-good woman who finds herself in every girls’ male conundrums. The one who will always have an opinion about anything, but will have your back till the end. The one who will encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and speak up for what you believe, while spitting out a few snarky and hilarious jokes in the process.

George Costanza


The dimwitted, frantic cheapskate who finds flattery the most important part of a conversation, especially when it comes to women. The one who is always down to be a wingman, in hopes of maybe scoring some for himself. The one who will lie to cover his and your ass no matter the cost, but never seems to make the right decision.

Cosmo Kramer


The free-spirted, happy-go-lucky neighbor who knows someone to take care of anything you need. The one who will be by your side during any adventure, while spewing out some of his own crazy ideas. The one who will spend 99% of their day just to put a smile on your face.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
