8 GIFs That Perfectly Describe The 8 Days of Passover
The Science of Eating

I'm just going to say what everyone is already thinking—our ancestors want us to starve. Between Yom Kippur and Passover, our people in the Biblical Era clearly had an aversion to food. While Yom Kippur is an entirely grueling 24 hours of emaciation, it is still only one-eighth of the length of Passover. But, I have to hand it to us, we have certainly become quite creative in the Passover food department. There is an array of dry cakes, cookies and cereals that will definitely make you consider doing an eight day rendition of Yom Kippur, and of course the classic matzo-pizza that crumbles as soon as it makes contact with your teeth.

Hopefully, for all of you out there, hungry and backed up with enough matzo to feed a small village, these GIFs will help you find solace in the fact that you are not alone.

Day One:

'Twas the afternoon before Passover and no bread was safe. It is your personal mission to stuff as much bread as humanly possible before the matzo plague commences.


Day Two:

It has been 12 hours since your last bite of bread and Seder number two is fast approaching. Hunger is setting in.


Day Three:

You can barely see out of the window behind the boxes of matzo blocking your vision. You’re in your own personal cage built entirely out of a dry, flavorless piece of cardboard your ancestors tried to pass off as a cracker.


Day Four:

You’re running out of creative ways to make matzo taste like edible food. Tensions are running high in your house; chances of survival seem slim.


Day Five:

You reflect on the happy days when bread was a possibility. You hit yourself for ever turning down a slice in efforts to cut your carbs. "You don’t want what you got until it’s gone."


Day Six:

After dodging social engagements in fear of losing control over the bread basket on the table, you decide it’s time to leave your matzo prison and venture out into the real world. Your waiter brings over an extra stack of napkins to help control the pool of saliva that has dribbled down your chin as you stare at your friend’s beautifully constructed, fluffy, chewy, delectable sandwich.


Day Seven:

The end is near. Salvation is possible. Bread is in your future.


Day Eight:

The sun has set and Passover has officially passed over us. Bask in the glory of bread. Let thy flavors seep into your taste buds. Never take real food for granted ever again. Amen.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

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. 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.
