FESTIVUS IS ALMOST HERE!
The infamous holiday from Seinfeld is on December 23rd, so it's only appropriate to 'air some grievances' about how everyone feels about the holiday season... real or fictional.
George Costanza is a lonely, depressed and inadequate character from the show, inspired by real-life producer/writer Larry David that became one of the best characters out of the greatest show ever made (about nothing). Here are a few moments about your thoughts regarding the holiday season that makes you want to celebrate Festivus instead.
1. Trying to get a head start on your New Year's resolution
We all make one resolution to lose weight when we get back to school, but since you're feeling 'good' before finals, you decide to head to the gym before the holidays...but hopefully you don't fail like George does here.
2. When your BFF asks you what you wanna do one night
Pizza, pointless Snapchats, and Prince of Tides? Or Princess Bride? Some movie with a P I don't know.
3. During finals week, this will be your daily routine when you get coffee in a busy line
The fact that the line is still busy at 10 a.m. on a Wednesday before your 10:30 a.m. exam will make your medium coffee feel like a small. GO LARGE OR GO HOME!4. Reading the material on a final you didn't study for
Pretty self-explanatory, my friends.
5. When people ask why you're colder than the season itself
So yeah, you might be judgmental behind people's backs. Let's just say it's petty and not like you really are THAT judgmental.
6. When you get home and your parents ask you to do things for them
Again, pretty self-explanatory.
7. Laundry at school, basically
When you have nothing else better to do on a Sunday night.
8. When you're home and get a call for a potential part-time shift at your old work
You're in the bathroom after lunch and then BAM! Your old job calls at the most inopportune time.
9. When your dad makes a joke about your grades at the family holiday party and you're trying to go with it
He's had a few drinks tonight, so you're willing to let it go...but at least let it go without a fight.
10. When your friends are having a holiday party and it's a potluck so they ask if anyone can pick up the cheapest thing on the list
It's probably paper plates or something.
11. When your dad gets angry at you for wasting money on something dumb (again)
For me, it's either when I buy another 'stupid wrestling shirt' or pizza when 'we have food here at the house!' Welcome to my world, folks.
However, at one point or another, you end up having a great holiday season away from books, dorms, and other school responsibilities. Happy Festivus!
