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.

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

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
