College as Told By "Seinfeld"

"I lie every second of the day. My whole life is a sham." –George Costanza

College as Told By "Seinfeld"

The hit '90s sitcom "Seinfeld" is still just as hilariously relatable today as it once was. The main characters, Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer, are the most unlucky group of narcissists on television, and that's what makes them so funny. For all of the socially inept college students out there, this one's for you.

When you see your tuition bill:

It's all fun and games until you see your tuition bill. College is fun because you never know what kind of fees they're gonna tack on!

When someone in class asks for your help:

Just because you're in college doesn't mean you're too smart to not get completely lost on what the professor is saying. Half the time you're hanging on by a thread.

When your professor calls on you to answer a question:

Uhh, yeah, I definitely read all 5 chapters that were assigned last night. I totally didn't watch Seinfeld until my eyes bled.

Trying to follow college fashion trends:

College calls for you to throw out your old wardrobe and acquire a new one consisting of khakis, ironic tees, and pea coats. Not really, but if you did, Kramer would probably call you a hipster doofus.

Realizing you need to change your major:

Taking a few classes in your major, realizing that you absolutely hate it, and you have no idea what you want to do with your life. Yeah, that's never happened to me before...

Taking that mandatory art appreciation class:

It doesn't matter if you're pre-med, you still gotta pass the required Art 1001. Be like George. Don't love the art, adore it.

Your thoughts after going to that first 8 AM:

8 AMs seems like a good idea until you go to your first 8 AM. 8 AMs have their perks, such as good parking, but for the most part, they can go to hell.

Biking around campus:

Yeah, some students may look silly biking through campus, but aren't they smarter than all of us pedestrians?

Women's Studies:

Your first real introduction to feminism. It's awesome, like Elaine. She was a feminist icon back in the '90s and is still an inspiration today.

Filling out graduate school applications:

Need help padding your resume? Kramer can help you out. Kramer's a jack of all trades, or should I say, Cosmo.

Freshmen at a keg party:

Where there are college students....there's beer. And where there's a bar with salty pretzels, there's a Kramer. These pretzels are making me thirsty!

Fraternities:

Frat guys are everywhere. There's no escaping them, so you better learn to tolerate them. Same goes for George.

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.

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.
