If you are an avid moviegoer, you have seen your local theater during their best and worst days. You've seen the popcorn spills, crazy lines, crazier guests, and everything in between. It's sometimes frustrating to be standing in lines for tickets just to stand in another line for snacks but I'm here to tell you a few things to make your movie experience better.

1. Be Nice

It will make everything run so much smoother while keeping your, and your cashier's, mood up.

2. Understand We Are Doing Our Best

Sometimes people call off and theaters become understaffed or equipment failure happens. Prioritizing issues is a big task in the movie theater business and they are trying their best to fix it all.

3. Remember You Have Trailers and Plenty Of Time

First of all, if you are worried about getting tickets, snacks, and a good seat all before the show starts, you should probably get there more than 2 minutes before the showtime. If the theater is busy they can't serve you before other guests just because your time management didn't factor in other customers. Also, if your show is at 7:00 and you are rushing your concessions cashier to hurry up because it's 7:01, remember your movie won't even start until 7:20.

4. Be Nice

IT'S SO EASY TO BE NICE!

5. Please, Just Be Nice

I beg you.

6. Don't Yell About Things Out of Our Control

If you choose to yell at an employee who is trying to help you as much as they are able to, shame on you. Things happen all the time unexpectedly. If you just give the staff a few minutes to figure out the best solution you'll most likely see it will fall into your favor.

7. They're Trying to Help You As Much As They Can

Trust me, the last thing we want is an upset customer

8. All of This Popcorn Is Fresh

Every time I have been asked if we are using the same popcorn from last night I clearly state, no. We make our popcorn fresh every morning and throughout the day. Oh? You want to wait for a new batch to pop? Well, this batch literally just finished but if you would like to wait for 10 more minutes, go ahead.

9. No, We Do Not Have Pepsi in Our Coca-Cola Machines

I thought this would be self-explanatory in the name.

10. Please. Just. Be. Nice

That's all I ask of you.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
