A Letter From All Fast Food Employees

To everyone everywhere,

Let's just start off with the fact that all fast food employees are still human, and chances are, none of us want to be there. You are most likely dealing with a high school or college-aged worker who would rather be anywhere else and is not getting paid nearly as much as they should be for how they are being treated. None of us are perfect when we go to fast food restaurants but there are some things we'd like you to know:

This is a big one— it is 2019 and some people still don't know how the drive-thru works.

First, please stop at the speaker to place your order, like seriously that's just how it works. It is quite confusing when you zoom past the speaker and place your order at the window. Second, it is extremely hard to hear when taking orders at the drive-thru because not only is it coming through a tiny speaker at your ear, but there is so much background noise in the store. So please speak up, honestly you can yell, whatever works. Third, if you are one of those people who have the jacked up truck that you can hear coming from a mile away, please please please turn the truck off. Fourth, if you and your four children in your mini-van have no clue what you want, please don't go to the drive-thru, just park and go inside or to the front window. Also with that, please don't sit at the drive-thru speaker and ask for a minute when there is an obvious line behind you.

When you have finally gotten through the ordering process and you are ready to pay, please don't yell at us or give us attitude because of the prices.

We do not make the prices and we probably think they're expensive too, but we literally have no control over that at all. Along with that, don't get angry if we say a coupon is expired or a deal you thought you could get is over because, again, it is out of our control. Another thing is if you already see us getting your change please do not try and give us change, it gets confusing for everyone. If you want to give us exact change or something close to it, just tell us. We'd also appreciate it if you didn't throw your money or card at us, pretty self-explanatory.

Please just remember that when we say we can't do something it is not because we don't want to but because we are not allowed and most of the time we don't even know why, but those orders come from people much higher than us.

Please just be respectful, we are trying our best to get you your food quickly and the best we can. If your order is messed up, I understand that it is frustrating, but no one did it on purpose. We will always be pleasant to you, so if you're pleasant to us, life will just be so much better.

Sincerely,

All fast food employees

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
