Growing up, I remember how badly I wanted to work at a clothing store. Now that I am old enough to work at one, I can attest that costumers are needy. This neediness comes along with annoying and ridiculous questions. Sure, I don't mind when you ask me for a size that's not on the floor, or if something looks good on you. It's my job to help you have the best shopping experience possible. However, I don't have patience for stupid questions.

1. "Do you work here?"

Nope. I'm wearing a walkie talkie and folding the mess you made out of these shirts purely for fun.

2. "Can I have this in letter M?"

Miss, just say medium. Please.

3. "Can I go look in the back for this?"

Yeah, go ahead. Try and navigate through that stock room because I've worked here for months and still don't know where anything is. Let me know how that goes for you.

4. "Can you throw this out for me?"

Sure, I'm glad I can add garbage woman to me resume now.

5. "Is this fitting room locked?"

Considering how you just went from door to door and jiggled each doorknob, I thought you would've figured it out by now.

6. "How much is this?"

Maybe check the tag?

7. "I know the sign says it's 50 percent off, but is it on sale?"

Yeah, it's 50 percent off.

8. "Are you open?"

Considering how it's 3 p.m. and you were able to walk through the doors, I'd say yeah.

9. "Can I return this shirt? I got it three years ago."

Sorry, I think you may be a little over the 30-day return policy. Also there are coffee stains on it so you can just keep it.

10. "What do I press for credit?"

The button that says credit, maybe? Oh. My. God.

I apologize to all retail workers I've asked questions like these to over the years. I feel your pain now.

Next time that you go shopping, one simple request, from employee to customer. Think before you ask. Thank you for shopping with us and have a nice day!

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.
