To the guy who cut me in line at Dunkin Donuts last summer,

First and foremost: WHERE DO YOU GET OFF, PAL? It's been a few months since this happened, July, actually, and I'm still upset about this. Where do you get off? What gives you the right to just whoosh right into line, wearing your button-down blue plaid shirt and pre-torn jeans from Hollister, and not pay any attention to my BIG A** behind you in line? I don't get it, dude, and to this day I'm still wondering if you're blind or just straight up ignorant. Still finding an answer to that elusive question.

Second, what kind of guy cuts someone in line at Dunkin Donuts to just order water?

I am very disappointed in your choice of order, sir. I can't see anyone ordering water from a menu that has some fantastic and delicious food and drinks. DUDE, we're talking ice coffee, iced tea, freaking COOLATAS. And you, Mr. Wonderful, Mr. I-Can-Pull-Off-A-Cool-Look-Even-Though-I-Have-A-Disney-Bracelet-On, ORDERS A LARGE ICED WATER. WITHOUT A LEMON, TOO! I would not be this upset if someone and their six kids cut me in line and ordered the entire menu before I can place my order. That, my friend, would be okay. But how dare you just order water. How. Dare. You.

Thirdly, I am very upset with how you treated the employee when you ordered DD's world-famous water. She was an extremely nice, just out of high school employee who was just trying to be friendly to her customer.

DD Employee Jen: "Hello, what can I get you?"
PLAID Man: "Iced Water. Large. No lemon."
DD Employee Jen: "Okay, can I get you anything else today, sir?"
PLAID Man: *gives her one dollar" "Keep it" *moves out of line without saying thanks*
DD Employee Jen: *has a sad look in her eye as he does so* "Have a good day"
PLAID Man: *nothing*

THAT. That right there is what pushed me over the freakin' edge. I was raised to give anyone I meet a sign of respect when taking my order, cutting my hair, even bailing me out of jail, dude. BUT YOU DECIDE TO JUST THROW A DOLLAR AT HER AND WALK AWAY? WITHOUT SAYING THANKS? ACKKKKK *insert me cringe-coughing here at my desk at the time of this correspondence*

Finally, and this is what really, REALLY tickled my annoying bone. YOU. TOOK. THE. LAST. STRAW. FROM. THE. COUNTER.

RED ALERT. FULL RED ALERT. WTF, DUDE? You know, I already decided to forgive you in my mind after I ordered my medium Vanilla Bean Coolata with whipped cream with no problem. I said hi to Jen, I asked her how her day was, I said please and thank you without mumbling or being rude. I WAS A GENTLEMAN. And what do you do that makes me not forgive you for what you've done? You take...the last...straw...

This is not a letter from me forgiving you, this is not even a letter trying to see how we can patch things up. This is a letter calling you out for the narcissistic, ignorant, and ill-minded person you are. The only thing I don't know about you is your name, sir. I hope you go on in life reflecting on this and treating employees named Jen with more respect than what you did that hot afternoon in July.

From me with anger,

Jacob Prest

P.S. Jen gave me a straw from behind the counter, and what did I say to her? A sign of thanks, not a demand.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
