"Wow it's cold outside!" "What are your sizes?" "Does a mocha have mocha in it?" These are some of the things we baristas have to hear every single day. If you work in a coffee shop then you totally get it. We get to hear what we call "stupid questions" all of the time! I mean come on, yes a mocha does have mocha in it, why else would it be called a mocha??? And why yes it is very cold outside...it's winter people!!

Working with the public can be difficult. There is a certain way to react to these "stupid questions" without causing a scene and scaring the customers away, not to mention, loosing your job over. So, we put a smile on and answer with every last piece of positivity inside of us.

However, inside our heads, we react a different way. And when the customer leaves we tend to talk about it. These are 10 of the reactions we tend to have every shift:


1. The "Did they really just say that" face.


2. The "Are you kidding me?!" face.


3. The "What the hell did I just witness" face.

4. The "OMG make up your mind" face.


5. The "Wow you really think that way" face.

6. The "Are you really going to ask me what muffins we have" face... THEY ARE CLEARLY LABELED.


7. The "OMG your breathe is death please back up" face.


8. The "Yes a mocha really does have mocha in it" face.


9. The "I can't believe you are let out into the real world" face.


10. The "I can't believe you come in here everyday and ask me the same question" face.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
