College Life, As Told By "Seinfeld"

Hi, my name is George, I'm unemployed, and I live with my parents.

College Life, As Told By "Seinfeld"
playbuzz

I don't know about you guys, but I've definitely thought on more than one occasion that my life should be made into a hit television show. Seinfeld was an amazingly funny '90's sitcom that detailed the lives of four friends: Jerry, Kramer, Elaine, and George. The group is hilariously unlucky in many regards, just trying to make it in the "big apple." As a college student, life can be rough, and getting through it is a lot easier when you learn to laugh at yourself just as the world has laughed at these characters for so many years. So, keep trying to convince yourself that you have it all together, because in the wise words of George Costanza, "It's not a lie if you believe it."

1. Realizing you have to do things for yourself now

I hate doing laundry with a passion, don't clean my room as much as I probably should and still only know how to cook using a microwave, but it's fine.

2. Reuniting with your friends

After winter/spring breaks, a long weekend, or even just at a bar on a Friday night, these people are your family, and you wouldn't want it any other way.

3. Making a pact to be ~healthy~

No matter how long it lasts, it's the thought that counts.

4. Procrastinating everything

Write my paper or watch another episode? "Continue watching."

5. When you wake up ten minutes before class


Makeup is not a thing, but unfortunately, running is.

6. Trying to find the perfect seat in class

These girls in my philosophy class saved literally eight seats the other day? Okay? But also finding the perfect spot where you can see the board and use your phone without being noticed is a feat.

7. Being hungover in class after a night out

The fact that my eyes are even open right now is unbelievable. Please do not call on me to answer a question, or I will get up and walk out.

8. How you look taking pictures before a night out

You do you girl – find that perfect angle, wear as little as possible even though it's 30 degrees out; I support it.

9. How you look at your friend from across the frat/bar when she can do so much better

Do not make out with him! Debra, do I have to come over there myself and stop you? Because you know I will!

10. Trying to remember what happened last night

I still have my phone, ID, and wallet so whatever it was couldn't have been that bad, right?

11. Any conversation with a professor

Whether you're at office hours asking a question or interviewing for an internship, it's important to make a good impression, even though college professors have learned to see right through the facade.

12. The struggle of wanting a boy but knowing your worth as a woman in college

FEMINISM! Women & gender studies and current events all tell us we don't need a man, but sadly, we sort of feel like we do.

13. Being judged for everything

It takes a while to learn to let it all go, but once you stop criticizing everything about yourself and others, it is so liberating!

14. Killing it with your friends at all times

College rules! We rule! Love life!

I owe my dad a great debt of gratitude for introducing me to this cast of characters who make me feel a lot better about myself consistently. I aspire to be as hilarious as they each are, although maybe not as hapless, even if it does make for good comedy.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
