Some Epiphanies

1. If you sit in a science class thinking that you've discovered a paradox no one has noticed before you and by asking a question you are going to make scientific history, you are doing it wrong and are probably just confused.

2. Every time someone else does something weird and immature and age inappropriate, take a deep breath, clean up their mess, and assure yourself that it's just proof that you are, in fact, functional as a reasonably independent reasonably adult human being.

3. Don't act so surprised when people think you can throw a decent dinner party. Don't apologize for the food being bad when they keep stressing how good it is, otherwise you'll convince them that it actually is bad.

4. Keeping kosher is the easiest way to not worry about eating your roommate's zealously guarded chicken tortelini.

5. Going to the gym frees you from Jewish guilt for the next four days.

6. So does going to Friday night services.

7. So even though Bronfman Center is not your favorite place in the universe, you should march your ass down there tonight.
