10 Things Every Ice Cream Scooper Goes Through

Working at an ice-cream shop this summer has made me realize how working in the food business sometimes does have it’s perks like getting those muscles you’ve always wanted,, then again it does have it’s downfalls. Here is some FAQ’s and some FT’s(frequent thoughts) that have come up while on the job:

    1. Even before reading the menu, “how much is a small?”

    ma’am, there are all the prices behind me and even with my smile on my face you don’t even realize how annoyed I am with you.

    2. “What kind of flavors do you have?”

    If you don’t see the list in front of you then I don’t think you should be ordering ice cream…


    3. “Oh can I try *ice cream flavor* too?!”

    Oh! of course you can try it! it’s not like its your seventh sample!


    4. The after dinner Friday night crowd and where you just want to hide from it all.

    5. After doing a huge order and either get a dollar or no tip at all.

    all that hard work for nothing.

    6. Having a empty shop for a while but then all the summer camp kids come in.

    7. “Can I have a *ice cream flavor* milkshake?” next customer “oh can I have at * same ice cream flavor* milkshake?”

    why couldn’t you say you wanted it too when I was already making one…and after I cleaned the blender!

    8. when people leave their garbage on the table.

    this isn’t a restaurant, be a big boy a throw out you trash!

    9. *long line* “Can I have a hot fudge sundae?” “can we share a banana split?” “can we have a vermonster?” All while the other customers are getting impatient.

    please just keep it simple and don’t come back.

    and lastly…

    10. please tell your baby to shut up.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
