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.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
