I have always loved the movie "Grease." Whether it be the music, dancing, or how cute Danny is in that bad boy kind of way. I secretly always wanted to be like Sandy. Since the movie has been the talk of campus this past week due to the release of "Grease Live," I decided to share my love for this movie by describing college with quotes from "Grease."
The never ending snacking
Danny: "Uh, I'm not very hungry; just gimme a double Polar Burger wit' everything and a cherry soda wit' chocolate ice cream."
There are without a doubt those times where you aren't very hungry, yet eat like it's your last meal. Once you start, you can't stop. Junk food is a college student's biggest weakness.
Netflix and Chill
Sandy: "My parents want to invite you over for tea on Sunday."
Danny: "I don't like tea."
Sandy: "You don't have to drink tea."
Danny: "I don't like parents."
We all know these kinds of nights. I've had quite a few. Of course it's fun to go out with your friends, but sometimes curling up in bed with a Netflix movie and a bucket of popcorn sounds much better. You try to use every excuse without sounding like a total flake.
I'll actually try for class today
Frenchy: "Doody, how do I look?"
Doody: "Like a beautiful, blonde pineapple."
For those times we try our hardest to actually look nice for class. You get up thirty minutes earlier just to look like a pineapple, but at least you're a beautiful one!
The financial struggle
Jan: "Don't let me near the refreshment stand! Take my money away from me! I'm not hungry! I'M NOT HUNGRY!"
Again, junk food is a college student's weakness. Our money either goes towards clothes or food, but I'd bet mainly food.
Expectation vs. Reality
Frenchy: "Beauty school sure wasn't as I thought it would be."
Vi: "Nothing ever is."
If your college experience so far has been anything like mine, it's not what you thought it would be at all. It is so much more than I could have imagined and I am thankful that sometimes things are different than you thought they'd be or the way you wanted.
