Be Nice To Your Waiter

I don't like my food covered in saliva, do you?

If you never want me to speak to you again, be rude to a waiter.

To be honest here, my rage is that unjustified. Yes, I quake in fear when this occurs, but so do a ton of people. Just imagine, you're working at a breakfast place. A couple walks in, without waiting for a table they take a seat. You're already annoyed, don't they know there's a system? You jog on over with the biggest, most fake smile on your face. You go through the pleasantries and ask the simple yes or no question of whether they would like a drink. They stare at each other and slowly turn to look at you, a mixture of disappointment and disgust in their eyes. With a snarl of their lip, they spit out the word no. From people passing by, it would seem that you had asked them to go eat the trash with them. You're fake smile grows as thoughts of murder and how you can spit in their food dance through your head.

This is what I'm talking about. A simple solution would be to politely say no. Being friendly never hurt anybody and it's free! Everyone, please don't take rude people personally. Don't let them ruin your day. Rude people, a smile never hurt anybody! Because let's be honest, food that has been spat in DOES NOT taste good.

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.
