7 Times I Understood Larry David So Well That It Made Me Sick

Jennifer Lawrence said she loves Larry David because it's okay for her image, but my love is genuine and real and can't be matched.

7 Times I Understood Larry David So Well That It Made Me Sick

I love Larry David. I love Larry David so much that it makes other people feel weird. I grew up watching Seinfeld and I carry all of the scars of that childhood experience. I think there are way more situations in which it's appropriate to yell at people than there really are. I'm very petty and also sometimes very rude. Every time I watch "Curb Your Enthusiasm," I can't help but strongly identify with him, which makes me hate myself, which is actually a very Larry David way to feel. It's a vicious cycle. Here are 10 moments which have contributed to my downward spiral.

1. That time he could not muster up any excitement at a basketball game.

This is how I feel about pretty much all sporting events, but the connection is deeper than that. Enthusiasm does not come easily to me. I don't even get excited for my own birthday. This is the face I would make on a roller coaster.

2. That time he yelled for everyone.

I love yelling. I love feeling righteous. Yelling is the best, especially when you think you're doing it because of your superior sense of morality and not because you're an asshole.

3. That time that he hated someone he had just met.

First impressions are important. Once, when I was in kindergarten, a girl named Sarah accidentally hit me on the head with a block during clean up time. She was always nothing but kind to me for the next six years that we went to school together, but I could never forgive her. I think this situation seems healthy and normal!

4. That time he said something very depressing and also unfortunately accurate.

My bedtime has gotten earlier and earlier as the years have gone by. This is because life is a constant and exhausting struggle against the dying of the light, so by the time 7 PM rolls around, I feel like there's nothing left to do but go to sleep.

5. That time he was repulsed by a Republican.


This is the only kind of intolerance I can get behind. It's just ew gross.

6. That time he said something I've always been too weak and dishonest to say.

I feel this way all the time, even about people I love deeply. Don't you wish you could just say this to someone? I really wish I could say this to many of the people in my classes. I wish I could say this to everyone I've ever spent more than two consecutive days with.

7. That time he seemed kind of happy.

Even I'm happy sometimes. Sometimes I think life is pretty, pretty, pretty good, like when I'm eating a bagel or listening to "Dreamboat Annie" or sitting alone, in silence.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
