Passover In College Explained By Grey's Anatomy

Ask any jew who doesn't go to a college with a very high jewish population, celebrating the holidays are hard. What's even harder? Trying to survive eight days kosher for passover. But don't you worry, Grey's Anatomy feels the struggle.

A few weeks before your parents ask you about your plans for passover which you of course forgot about because your consumed with college.

I mean can they really blame you, in the midst of all of classwork, finals, clubs, and a social life how are you supposed to remember to not eat bread?

You try to reason with them about how hard it is to stay kosher in college but you know their jewish parent guilt will win out.

No ones knows how to guilt you into doing something your supposed to do like a Jewish mother.

None the less, you end up giving in to eight days carb free.

Here we go!

You tell your parents your going to a seder on campus but you are actually at a party because they won't find out.

Passover is a celebration right? And I'm pretty sure none of the drinks being served will have carbs in it so thats a win.

You go through half a day before realizing how hard eating kosher for passover is away from home.

You have already eaten your way through the box of matzah and macaroons your parents sent you.

When you see others around campus trying to keep kosher too.

Nothing bonds two people together like both not being able to figure out what to eat when getting dinner.

But then you realize you'll be fighting over the last piece of matzah in the dining hall with them.

No one will be able to get in your way when there is only one plate of kosher food in the dining hall, that meal is yours!

Sadly, you give up two days in because like you thought, it's just so hard.

I mean give yourself props you got this far!

But you'll continue to lie to your parents so they are happy with you.

When your on the phone with your parents remember to tell them just how filling and delicious all of the matzah has been and how you wish Passover was longer!

Oh well, maybe next year is the year you stick it out all eight days.

Dance it out on a stomach full of carbs!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
