4 Questions For After Passover

Now that the 4 questions have been asked, the 4 cups of wine have been drunk and the 4 sons have been discussed, I have 4 more questions to ask in honor of the holiday of Passover being over.

1. Why is it that after the holiday where there’s supposedly nothing to eat, I’m so stuffed that I don't want to ever see food again?

I really don't understand how Passover is known as the holiday of Matzah and potatoes when I feel like I’m at a wedding smorgasbord at every meal. I find it funny that right before and after Passover, people are desperate to get their pizza and Slurpees in because they couldn't have it for 8 days. Honestly, it’s nauseating.

2. Why after the holiday when I’m supposed to feel free do I feel like I’m back in bondage?

The amount of work that piles up over our fake spring break feels like the sinking pyramids that need to be rebuilt every day thus creating a situation where the WORK NEVER ENDS!

3. If I just got a whole new wardrobe for the spring 2 weeks ago, why is it that my clothing doesn't seem to fit in quite the same way as I remember in the store?

But, I guess that one kind of goes back to the first question. Some questions are just easier to answer than others…

4. Why is all the food that I have been scarfing down and smacking my lips over for the last 8 days suddenly something of inferior quality?

Were all the exclamations of “This really doesn't have chametz in it?!” a lie? For some reason, those delicious brownies and cookies and cakes that we’ve all been munching uninhibited for 8 days are now beneath us. Instead, we must run (don’t walk; those extra Pesach pounds aren't just going to leave by themselves…) to the nearest supermarket to stock up on real baked goods.

And just like we continue to ask the real 4 questions every year, so too will these questions continue to haunt us. But, hey, some things are just part of life.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
