19 Struggles Of College As Told By Larry David Of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm'

Larry David is my spirit animal when it comes to summing up the problems of college.

I’ve recently started re-watching one of the greatest, funniest television series I’ve ever stumbled upon: Curb Your Enthusiasm. The things that Larry David gets himself is to are so cringe-worthy and hilarious, yet so relatable; I think the ability to relate to Larry in so many situations is what makes the show so genius. Now that I’m a college student and have entered into young-adulthood, I find myself relating to him more and more.

Here are some of the ways Larry has summed up what it’s like to be in college:

1. When the professor starts off the lecture by reminding you of all the deadlines that are coming up.


2. Putting all your energy into an assignment just to receive a grade that’s lower than expected.

3. Having to be polite and respectful to a professor when they have yet to reply to your emails or grade that essay that you handed in a month ago.

4. Trying to decide whether to stay in and get some work done or to go out.

5. When it’s 11:30 PM and you realize that an assignment you’ve been avoiding is due at 11:59 PM.

6. Running into someone who you really don’t want to speak to.

7. When the group chat is getting too complicated with everyone making plans at once.

8. Seeing pictures that your friends took of you from your wild night out.

9. Trying to figure out if the excuse your professor gave for handing back your tests so late is legit or not.

10. Any time you’re packing to leave the dorm for the weekend or a vacation.

11. Attempting to stay awake during an 8:30 class after a long night.

12. Having a serious conversation with yourself and asking how you could be so stupid as to leave your homework for the last minute yet again.

13. When an adult thinks that the stamp on your hand is from literally any place other than a club and you have to go with it for the sake of circumstance.

14. Trying to flirt.

15. When you’re friends force you to go out when you’d much rather stay in for the night.

16. Drinking the concoction your friend just put together, which is probably poison.

17. Being in a hurry and having to do the much-dreaded “stop-and-chat”.

18. When you and your friends have to stop and admire the piece of art that is walking into the cafeteria.

19. And, finally, when your family asks you how you are and you have to act like you haven’t had three breakdowns and been living on gummy bears for the past week.

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:

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.
