10 Kinds of People Who I Don't Trust to Vote
Rabbi Avi Shafran

1. People who are habitually fifteen minutes late.

I'm serious, you guys. If you don't have time management skills I just can't trust your judgment. Being late all of the time is unacceptable. You need to work on this before I give you your voting privileges back.

2. People who insist on eating outside at restaurants even though it's 100 degrees.

You are low key the worst at decision making. I can't eat when the sun is literally blistering my skin and it's too hot to breathe. I shudder to think of your rationale for picking a leader.

3. People who drive slowly in the fast lane and don't move over a lane even though I'm going faster than you.

You just need to have more respect for people. I can't trust you to pick the best person for this country if you behave like this.

4. People who think they're too cool or busy for social media.

I know you're all creeping in the shadows. I'm a busy adult, too, and it only takes three minutes to catch up on your accounts. I promise you aren't too cool for three minutes of your day. But if you think you're above it, then you must also be above voting so I'm taking that away from you.

5. People who post spoilers.

Just stop. You're ruining everyone's day. If you can't keep things to yourself, you are too much of a loose cannon and cannot take responsibility for voting.

6. People who get mad when people post spoilers.

You know it's going to happen, so stop whining. Whiners don't get to vote.

7. People who take forever to order in the drive-thru.

You have been to McDonald's at least 100 times in your life, so you should have a general idea of what you want. You're too indecisive to enter a voting precinct and the reason people are stuck in line after hours. YOU are the reason we have to wait so long to call the winner. No more!

8. People who have not seen The Lion King.

You just cannot participate in politics if you haven't watched the "Be Prepared" sequence.

9. People who insist they can't watch scary movies.

Not only do I not trust you to vote, I don't trust you to handle living in the United States. The stuff that happens here is way scarier than the stuff that happens in horror movies.

10. People who tell me that doughnuts are unhealthy.

You are the worst kind of person in the world. I KNOW, OKAY? Stop pointing it out and let me enjoy my delicious pastry. You're too annoying to be able to vote.


Obviously I'm joking. I actually want all of you to vote. It's your civic duty, so you better be out there in November!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
