10 Truths About Food Delivery

Hi guys! It's your local delivery girl here! While people may think that delivery jobs are all fun and games, many of us are hard workers who need these jobs to pay our bills. And while it is a ton of fun at times, we are often put in some really awkward situations that could be avoided. So before you pick up the phone and order some pizza, learn the 5 truths about food delivery from a delivery girl!

1. We absolutely do not spit in your food or eat it

While a lot of people like to joke around that drivers "spit in your food" or "eat it" if you are rude while ordering (and yes sometimes the people who are taking your orders are also the ones who are bringing it to you) or do not give a good tip, drivers actually have no part in the preparation or handling of your food until it is bagged and ready to go. And the act of unwrapping it once it is in our possession is way too much of a hassle and time commitment. As good as it may smell, we keep our hands off!

2. We get there as fast as we can

If you think the life of a delivery driver is just driving around aimlessly and taking our sweet time with every order, you are sadly mistaken. Between restocking and cleaning the restaurant, taking phone orders, and being our bosses b*tches, we are actually very busy and on our feet the whole shift, except for when we are in our cars on deliveries. And if our boss does think we are driving too slow, he calls us up and lets us know.

3. No matter how many times we have delivered to you we still need your address and info

My memory is pretty good, but it is not that good. And while we may deliver to you literally everyday, your neighbor might as well. It would be annoying to not only you, but us as well if the order got mixed up.

4. Tips make or break our day

After spending 15 minutes driving, looking for a parking spot, and then waiting 10 minutes for you to answer your door, it can be really frustrating to get a 25 cent tip...

5. A messed up order is not our fault

We have absolutely zero involvement in the making of your food. So if you got cheese on your sandwich when you specifically said no cheese, it is not our fault. Please do not take it out on us.


Whether it be pizza, Chinese food, or whatever you desire, all delivery drivers are the same! Please treat them with respect!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
