1. Bold Acceptance, and Confidence

As the day begins, you're feeling pretty good - you are the Beyonce of the Jews. The, "I did this last year" phrase starts off your morning and honestly, nothing can stop you. You're determined, ready, and can't wait to show it to the man.

2. Denial

The day drags on and no, you didn't just hear your stomach growl. Ha, What? No. Absolutely not. You're fine - totally, utterly fine. You're not even hungry, not even a little bit.

You're lying. You're not fine. You're hungry.

3. Bargaining

"What if I just snack a little bit, that's better than eating a full meal. I mean, I can repent my sins next year, it's not a big deal"

4. Depression

While trying to distract yourself, you aimlessly scroll through Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. Suddenly, you are bombarded with every appetizing Tasty video, or friends posting their delicious meal today. You want it, and you're starting to hit rock bottom. It's unavoidable, you're most likely sad, really, really sad.

5. Anger

The sun is setting, you're starving, and you're nothing but hangry. The accomplished feeling is long gone, and anger takes over. You've waited long enough for the bagels, and you want them now.

Happy Yom Kippur, eat enough to survive until next year!

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.

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.
