Leiden is kind but very truthful, take what she says with a grain of sand.

A university in the Netherlands for posh dutch kids and many international students. The frat life for the dutchies is strange and posh, while the international students typically smoke a ton of weed, frequent radion and paard, and are hyper woke.

One thing about Leiden is that it's undeniably the most beautiful city in the Netherlands.
God I love Leiden, but the night life sucks.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
