Here are thirteen things you should never do in a restaurant; unless of course, you want your server to hate you.

1. Servers hate when customers forget what they ordered and the server sits there with an armful of food waiting for people to get their life together.

2. Servers hate when customers throw their money instead of nicely handing it to the server.

3. Servers hate when you DO NOT TIP! Do not eat out if you cannot tip, sorry not sorry.

4. Servers hate when customers continue talking while the server is trying to figure out who ordered what meal.

5. Servers hate when you complain about prices of the food. I did not make the prices so stop bashing me for them- it is not my fault.

6. Servers hate when customers decide to change their order after it has already been made (and especially after it has already been served).

7. Servers hate when you let your children make an absolute mess. It is not that hard to clean up after your children. I am a server. I am not a maid.

8. Servers hate when you are on the phone while ordering, your precious phone call can wait three more minutes.

9. Servers hate when you do not use manners. Two words, eight letters- THANK YOU.

10. Servers hate when you ask for your burgers to be well done, but not burnt. Well done is burnt, don't @ me.

11. Servers hate when you shred up straw wrappers and leave a mess. They are a pain in the a** to clean up.

12. Servers hate when you come into a restaurant TEN MINUTES before closing time, it is just rude.

13. Servers hate when you complain about food taking too long. If you come to eat during food rush hour, there is certainly going to be a wait.

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.

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.
