Whether you currently work at a restaurant or used to, here are a few facts all food service employees know too well.

1. You smell of "Eau de Resturanté"

You have no choice in your perfume anymore. The smell of french fries and grease will forever be embedded in your clothes.


2. You have nightmares

Whether it be the phone constantly ringing and you can't reach it or spilling champagne on all your customers, you're sure to have a few unpleasant dreams regarding your place of work.


3. You're always hungry

When that sizzling burger and crisp fries waft past your nose it's hard not to salivate.


4. You don't need a gym membership

Running around the restaurant, bussing tables, carrying 6 plates of food while basically juggling flaming balls and jumping through hoops, you get your cardio and strength training in just a few hours.


5. You will never find fashionable non-slip shoes

You just cant. If someone does, will you please let me know?!


6. You have extra compassion whenever you go out to eat

You know first hand just how hard and taxing the work they're doing is. Who cares if it takes them an 30 minutes to bring the menus, you're just glad they didn't forget your table.


7. You have favorites

Whether you're a server, busser, host, or cook, we all have our favorites around the restaurant. The ones that can make your shift 100 times better.


8. You appreciate the small things

A simple "You did a great job" or "I love your smile" are things we value so deeply. They seem small, but it can help make or break your day.


9. You eat at odd hours

When you're working from 3-11 you don't always have time for a break. Your usual midnight snack now becomes your dinner.


10. It may not be easy, but it's worth it

Sure the hours can be long, you work on the weekends and holidays, but you end up making the best relationships and gain valuable skills for life.

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
