11 Seinfeld Quotes To Live By
Hulu

For the past month, I've been binge-watching all of "Seinfeld" --the cherry on top of a two-year obsession with the renowned "show about nothing." During this time, I've learned many valuable life lessons. I've also learned how to differentiate which season a clip is from based on the style of Elaine's hair. I've understood all of the running jokes that one doesn't catch onto when sporadically watching randomly assorted episodes. And most importantly, I learned that there is definitely something to this show about nothing. So this is the perfect opportunity to pass some of my newly acquired knowledge onto you.


1. "I gotta focus. I'm shifting into soup mode."

Sometimes, some things are so important that you've got to block out everything else. For example, overcoming temptation to procrastinate online instead of studying, or instead of chatting while waiting in line for the best soup in New York City.

2. "Not that there's anything wrong with that."

You've gotta respect the way other people live their lives. They may be different from you, but just remember their thoughts and feelings.


3. "I had to take a sick day. I'm sick of these people."

Every once in a while, nothing is better than just taking some time off for yourself.

4. "My name is George. I'm unemployed and I live with my parents."

You've gotta be true to yourself. Although this directly contradicts another of his famous lines, "It's not a lie if you believe it."

5. "No way wine is better than Pepsi."

Oftentimes, it's the simple things in life that make us feel the best.

6. "I proclaim this the Summer of George!"

You've got plenty of reasons to be hopeful. Wish for the best for yourself and everybody else in everything.


7. "This was supposed to be the Summer of George."

Things won't always go the way you expect them to or want them to. Sometimes you've just got to resign yourself to that fact.

8. "Serenity now!"

Whenever you're feeling overwhelmed by anything, just utter this line. It'll help relieve stress. And nobody said you didn't have to shout it.


9. "Well the Jerk Store called, and they're running out of you!"

A handy line for whenever somebody is giving you crap. Known as possibly the best comeback ever.

10. "These pretzels are making me thirsty!"

Stay hydrated, kids. Become a citizen of the hydration nation.

11. "I am down. I am totally down. Mark me down!"

Sometimes in life, you've got to jump into things headfirst. You've gotta be eager, and maybe even wear a backwards hat. You've gotta try new things. Whenever anybody asks me if I want to watch Seinfeld, this is how I reply.


So now you've gained some new perspective and some handy life advice. Go use it!

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions.

Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
