Every work has difficulties and answering phones is one of them. Have you ever gotten a call and simply thought, how stupid can you possibly be? Well, we've all been there and here are a list of calls that make me laugh and scream.

1. Do you have eggs?

Keep in mind, at the time I was working at a place called "Eggs Up Grill", and this was so beyond crazy that I just wanted to slam my head against the wall. No, we just put it in the name because we like eggs, not because we use them on our menu.

2. Are you open?

If I answered the phone, its not because I was wanting to talk to another human being, but rather because I am getting paid. I don't live at work and answer the phone just for fun.

3. Can you reset my password?

It's not the question but rather the following dialogue. "Sure, what is your information that you have for the account" "It's not safe for me to give you that, no." well, as most of you can already assume I can't reset an account if I don't know who its for or have confirmation that you're the right person.

4. Is this (insert job name here)?

I just greeted you with the name of the business so no, I lied to you and I'm really at the Krusty Krab, would you like a Krabby Patty? I mean honestly, its customer for many businesses to greet you with "Hi this is (job), my name is (_____) how can I help you?" So personally I find the question odd, I mean did you pick a random number to call and hope?

5. The lovely telemarketers

Yes, this can be the most excruciating part, having to listen as they ask for someone and you know that they don't even know who it is, because they ask by title.

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.
