Who doesn't love the food at Portillo's? The only thing that gets in the way between you and your food at Portillo's is the line, but the wait at Portillo's just got shorter!

The popular Chicago-style food resturant announced Monday August 8th, Portillo’s will launch an app for Apple, Android devices, allowing you to order food for pickup that was create to allow customers for pickup inside the restaurant or even in the drive-thru, according to a Portillo's news release.

Customers get $5 off a mobile order of $15 or more when they use the promo code "HOTDOG" at checkout, the news release said. Also, those who register on the app from now through the end of the month will also be eligible in a contest to win Portillo's meals for a year!

After placing an order thru the app, customers can pick up inside the restaurant — either to the bar area or a kiosk near the front door, depending on the restaurant — or in the drive-thru, which typically has a second lane so customers can get their food and then pull around the other cars, Portillo's spokesman Nick Scarpino said in an email.

“Our original ordering system that we still use today was created by founder Dick Portillo. In the restaurant our teams write customer orders as short abbreviations on each Portillo’s bag, which are identifiable to our whole team,” says Keith Kinsey, Portillo’s CEO said in the statement. “It was important to us to maintain this piece of our brand identity as we expanded our digital offerings. The Olo team was able to work with us to create a unique product that is unlike any other restaurant app.”

Once downloaded, the app allows users to select a Portillo’s location, choose their food and place their order for in-store or drive-thru pickup, allowing them to skip the line.

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.
