15 Things That Happen When You Are The Only Jew In Your Friend Group

Being one of the only Jewish girls in my group of friends has made me realize certain things about my religion that are different from others. Jewish girls can relate, and friends of Jewish girls can have a good laugh in this list:

1. When your tell your mom you are going to be home at 7:00 and at 7:01 she is ready to call the cops.

2. When all your friends are going out on Friday night so you have to do your best to explain why you can't.

3. When you are on the phone and your friends ask who it is and you say, "It's just my rabbi."


4. When your friends come over to your house, and the first thing your mom asks them is if they are hungry.

5. When you tell your friends that you are in the mood for a falafel and they have no idea what you are talking about


6. When you call someone a mench and they don't know if its a good or bad thing.

7. When your friends not understanding your love for Seinfeld.



8. When nobody understands what you mean by shlep, or shvitz.

9. When you try to explain that you became a woman at 12 because of your bat mitzvah.

10. When you want to get drunk of manischewitz but the frat doesn't have it.


11. When a singer is Jewish, you automatically love him/her.


12. Your friends will never understand your love for challah bread.



13. You can't understand how your friends can live without the words "plotzing" and "oy gevalt."


14. When you try to explain to your friends what shabbat is but they are all convinced that its a type of food.


15. But you love your non Jewish friends and invite them over for shabbat every Friday night.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.

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.
