Gas Station Quiznos: The Epitome of Fine Dining
http://denverfairfood.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html

After hours of highway travel on their return from vacation at Disney World, the Johnson family reveled at the sight of the sign for Quiznos adjoined with an Exxon station amidst endless miles of signs for South of the Border.

The family pulled off of the highway in their 2004 Chrysler Town and Country to see Quiznos glowing in the distance. The Johnson kids threw open the sliding doors of their minivan and raced inside. It felt like Christmas. Inside, the family was thrilled to find minimally cleaned restrooms with that signature gas station bathroom smell. The gas station was filled with delectable treats like boiled peanuts, pork rinds, and pickled hog's feet.

The Johnson's were delighted as they walked into the Quiznos to find a depressingly empty restaurant with no sign of an employee in sight. They were thrilled after 20 minutes of waiting for an employee and dozens of "hello, is anyone there?" to finally find a single employee who casually waltzed to the counter and took her time to put on her gloves finally saying, "can I help you?" in that signature sassy tone. After the glacially slow speed of their food being created, the Johnsons finally sat down and enjoyed a wonderfully subpar meal with Creed playing in the background. "A five-star eating establishment indeed," said Mr. Johnson.

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.
