College Life, As Told By "Seinfeld"

Hi, my name is George, I'm unemployed, and I live with my parents.

College Life, As Told By "Seinfeld"
playbuzz

I don't know about you guys, but I've definitely thought on more than one occasion that my life should be made into a hit television show. Seinfeld was an amazingly funny '90's sitcom that detailed the lives of four friends: Jerry, Kramer, Elaine, and George. The group is hilariously unlucky in many regards, just trying to make it in the "big apple." As a college student, life can be rough, and getting through it is a lot easier when you learn to laugh at yourself just as the world has laughed at these characters for so many years. So, keep trying to convince yourself that you have it all together, because in the wise words of George Costanza, "It's not a lie if you believe it."

1. Realizing you have to do things for yourself now

I hate doing laundry with a passion, don't clean my room as much as I probably should and still only know how to cook using a microwave, but it's fine.

2. Reuniting with your friends

After winter/spring breaks, a long weekend, or even just at a bar on a Friday night, these people are your family, and you wouldn't want it any other way.

3. Making a pact to be ~healthy~

No matter how long it lasts, it's the thought that counts.

4. Procrastinating everything

Write my paper or watch another episode? "Continue watching."

5. When you wake up ten minutes before class


Makeup is not a thing, but unfortunately, running is.

6. Trying to find the perfect seat in class

These girls in my philosophy class saved literally eight seats the other day? Okay? But also finding the perfect spot where you can see the board and use your phone without being noticed is a feat.

7. Being hungover in class after a night out

The fact that my eyes are even open right now is unbelievable. Please do not call on me to answer a question, or I will get up and walk out.

8. How you look taking pictures before a night out

You do you girl – find that perfect angle, wear as little as possible even though it's 30 degrees out; I support it.

9. How you look at your friend from across the frat/bar when she can do so much better

Do not make out with him! Debra, do I have to come over there myself and stop you? Because you know I will!

10. Trying to remember what happened last night

I still have my phone, ID, and wallet so whatever it was couldn't have been that bad, right?

11. Any conversation with a professor

Whether you're at office hours asking a question or interviewing for an internship, it's important to make a good impression, even though college professors have learned to see right through the facade.

12. The struggle of wanting a boy but knowing your worth as a woman in college

FEMINISM! Women & gender studies and current events all tell us we don't need a man, but sadly, we sort of feel like we do.

13. Being judged for everything

It takes a while to learn to let it all go, but once you stop criticizing everything about yourself and others, it is so liberating!

14. Killing it with your friends at all times

College rules! We rule! Love life!

I owe my dad a great debt of gratitude for introducing me to this cast of characters who make me feel a lot better about myself consistently. I aspire to be as hilarious as they each are, although maybe not as hapless, even if it does make for good comedy.

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.
