(it was a machloket to write this but we did it for the chavaya)

1. You've found your second home on Ben Yehuda/ Yafo

And you've become a professional mingler

2. Every boy you meet is a potential shidduch

"He goes to yeshiva, therefore he's my besheret"

3. You can spot a sem girl from a mile away

(Hard tail skirt, striped top, tory burch flats/ combo boots, masa backpack. Will most probably be seen running to make a bus at the tachana merkazit)

4. Shekels have become monopoly money

"What's an agura?"

5. Everything you do becomes a chavaya

6. And you do everything for the Instagram picture

"What should my caption be?"

7. Sweet potato always features in your meal

No matter which restaurant you go to

8. You've gained at least 15 pounds

But your friends have convinced you that you haven't gotten fat

9. Or you've become #semrexic

And you've mastered the ultimate sabotage tricks

10. Your dream is to be on "A Sem Girl Says"

11. Kedma brings out the worst sides of all your friends

12. There is no such thing as too much shteiging

13. Or too much sleep...

chavruta time = nap time

14. And although you hate answering all the awkward questions...

15. ...and find yourself constantly justifying why you chose your seminary

"So why did you choose this sem?" "I just dunno."

16. You've made friends that will last for a lifetime
