As a customer, you see your server as a happy go-lucky, outgoing person. They're sweet, energetic, and don't worry, they'll bring you your 6 sides of ranch with a smile on their face.

However, if you've ever worked in a restaurant, or if you happen to be a server yourself, you know that it doesn't take much to annoy a server. The truth about servers is that we actually like complaining. It might be a little therapeutic after working your fourth closing shift of the week.

So, here is everything servers complain about, as explained by the cast of "The Office":

1. Having too many tables.

*Has a full section*host: "hey, can you take this 20 top?"

2. Not being cut early enough.

*Waiting to be cut like*

3. Being cut too early.

*When you're happy you can actually have a social life for a night but you don't want to be poor*

4. Being under staffed.

5. The host/bussers.

6. Having to host.

*When you see a hosting shift on your schedule*

7. Not having enough tables.

8. Having a 9-top come in two minutes before close.

9. Bad tippers.

10. Working three doubles in a row.

11. That server that never does side work or rolls silverware

12. High maintenance tables.

13. Working holidays.

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.
