Keeping Passover can really be a struggle, especially when your mom’s not there to provide you food that won’t break it. Honestly, having a meal plan can be pretty beneficial during this short time period because they always have a kosher section in the dining hall, so no need to worry about keeping kosher for Passover. And just to make your life even easier, I’m about to provide you with some life-changing (not really) tips to be the great observer of Passover that your family members wish for you to be.

1. First off, buy an abundance of matzo. It’s not expensive (because let’s be real, its a piece of cardboard), so you don’t have to worry about any extra expenses. When I went to the supermarket in hopes of finding a box or two yesterday, I came to find that Acme of Newark only sells matzo by the extremely large case, so what did I do… Obviously purchased the large case since we have a long ten days ahead of us.
   
2. Once you have purchased the matzo, started experimenting with different recipes that are all ~kosher for Passover~ of course. My personal favorite is chocolate covered matzo, the best dessert during Passover and even during normal months. This is so easy to make it’s honestly scary, because this means I will keep making it everyday until I use up my large quantity of matzo and then summer bod will be at an all time low. But anyway, back to the recipe, boil butter and brown sugar in a pot on the stove, until the mixture begins to coat the spoon. Next pour this over a tray of matzo, then sprinkle a hefty amount of chocolate chips on top. Put the trays in the oven for a couple minutes so the chocolate chips can malt, then spread them evenly. Let freeze, break into pieces, and there you have it, possibly the most addicting dessert out there.
   
3. If you’re a bagel person, or maybe english muffin, or anything else that’s made of bread, I have a solution for you. Fried matzo for the win!!! Don’t worry, it’s not actually fried in a pot of oil so don’t be turned off from this because of health reasons or anything like that. Start by whipping up an egg mixture just like you would do for french toast. Add salt, pepper, cinnamon,or whatever else your tastebuds are craving. Dip pieces of matzo into the mixture as if it’s french toast, and cook on the stove. Top with salt and pepper or maple syrup, and there you have your Passover approved breakfast.
   
4. Whether you’re involved with your school’s Hillel or Chabad or nothing at all, this is the time you should actually direct yourself to their website and sign up for Passover dinner. Think about it, one less night you have to cook AND the food will probably be good. Literally why would you not take them up on this? (I really don’t know the answer to that unless maybe you hate home cooked meals or something). Gather your fellow Jewish friends and march on down.
