10 Things Maniacs Do

All of us are a little crazy, some more than others. We all have our crazy habits and rituals that we swear by, but some of them are just a little too far out in left field. I have here a list of 10 things that may classify you as a crazy person, hopefully you don't do all of these things because that may be a cause for concern.

1) Order Ginger Ale at a restaurant when you're not sick

Some food and drink are meant for certain occasions only for examples hot dogs on the Fourth of July, or eggnog in the winter. The pinnacle of this category would be drinking Ginger Ale when you are sick. It baffles me that some restaurants have Ginger Ale on their menu because who in the world will order it. If you're sick. don't go out, stay at home and well drink Ginger Ale. Out of all the drinks on the menu who goes to Applebee's and is intrigued by the idea of ordering a Canada Dry.

2) Putting ice cubes in milk

I didn't make this list by just thinking of outrageous things out of the realm of possibility, these are all things that some people out there do. I have witnessed on several occasions people putting ice in their milk. Just a disgusting concept if you ask me. For all you icy milk drinkers if you want to cool your milk put milk in the ice cube trays freeze them and bingo you have milk ice cubes fit for your glass of milk (For my Iced Coffee lovers do the same with your coffee, brew some coffee at night, put some in ice cube trays, and then put the rest in the fridge, thank me later). I'll take my Noble Peace Prize whenever, and I want a big check too.

3) People that drink Cranberry Juice during breakfast

Nothing like waking up in the morning and having a nice tall glass of Cranberry Juice? Talk about screwed up. Cranberry juice is disgusting at all times, but first thing in the morning the last thing I want to drink is a bitter cup of cranberry juice. Orange Juice is fine, apple juice is superior, but cranberry juice, hit the bricks pyscho.

4) Eating pizza with a fork and a knife

I get it, pizza is greasy, and it drips on your hand, boo hoo eat it like a normal human. Some food is going to be messy, but at the end of it you can just use some napkins. Also, if you order your pizza with a lot of toppings it's going to be messy but eating it with your hand is much more satisfying. What is the point of eating cheese pizza with a fork and knife, just eat pasta if that is going to be the case.

5) Getting 2 soups, or 2 salads at Panera

My roommate's girlfriend is notorious for this, just some diabolical craziness. I didn't think it was a common thing until I checked with my friend Kathryn, the resident Panera expert, and found out it's not too uncommon. The "You Pick Two" option at Panera is a glorious thing, the ability to pair up either a sandwich with a soup or salad, or a salad with a soup, but who in their right mind would get two soups or two salads. Panera's sandwiches are the best thing on the menu, besides the mac and cheese, but none the less the sandwich is a must in any you pick two combo. Besides salads are summer and spring food, and soups are fall and winter food, so these two shouldn't be paired together anyway. So that only leaves soups with a sandwich or another soup, or salads with a sandwich or another salad. In what world would it be ideal to pick two salads together, or two soup together over a soup/salad and a sandwich.

6) Use unflavored tooth paste


The fact that someone even thought of making unflavored tooth paste should be grounds for exile. Even the dentist offers you a choice of what type of toothpaste you get, so why on Earth would a person buy unflavored tooth paste. The only benefit I see from it would be that you may be able to drink orange juice right after, but I'd rather have a good tasting tooth paste over good tasting orange juice.

7) Getting Vanilla Frostys

Wendy's took a big L when they released the Vanilla Frosty, so what if they can appeal to a bigger audience, the integrity of the frosty has been forever tarnished. The Frosty is iconic in the fast food industry, the quintessential dessert after eating a burger and fries. Something sweet to balance out all the salt you shoved in your face. Frosty's had been strictly chocolate since the Stone Age, but Wendy's rolled over and gave up when they created the vanilla frosty, if you don't like cold chocolatey goodness go get a McFlurry, Wendy's should have stuck to its roots and served only those with divine tastebuds.

8) Grease dabbers

.

This one is food related again because some people just don't know how to eat. There should be manuals printed on the back of all menus telling people how to eat like a human. Anyway, people that take a napkin and dab their pizza, fries, burger etc, need to check in. Newsflash; dabbing the grease off your food isn't going to magically make your food healthier. Besides, the grease on top of pizza is what makes the pizza delicious. Papa Ginos Pizza would make more money by changing their name to Papa Greases Pizza because their pizza is so good because of its grease.

9) Snake People


It takes some serious "you know whats" to own a snake. By owning a snake you are willing to have a pet that will almost undoubtedly bite you once. The problem is some people get a pet snake and then they get so big that the owner has to let them loose, and those that do that need to be locked up. I saw a story one time about a lady finding a snake in her toilet and I was afraid to use the toilet for months. Whoever's snake that was needs to be exiled to the South Pole.

10) Ice Cream Biters


Nothing makes you cringe more then watching gnaw at there ice cream like it was an apple. How does that not hurt your teeth, I understand that some ice cream has chunks in it, but lick around them so they fall in your mouth. Problem solved. If you don't want it to melt then just lick faster. You can bite only when the ice cream is too low in the cone to eat can you begin to bite.

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.
