Kitchen light burning through bulbs

It began awhile ago. We moved into this apartment in July, and the first bulb in the kitchen light fixture burnt out. I replaced it. In I'd say 3-4 weeks that one had burnt too. Strange I thought. So i changed it again. It said 100W max on the fixture, and that was a 75 I'd had in there so I put a 100 W in. It was about a week before that one went. One roomate wants to just keep putting in new bulbs, and changing them, but I'm a little weary as that'll get expensive and its quite possibly a fire hazard. I took the cover off and I don't see anything obviously wrong, but I'm no electrician. Anyone have any suggestions? Or should I just get the landlord to get an electrician in here? Thanks a bunch!
