The Problem With The Golden Arches

Ba da ba ba bah, I'm losin' it.

The Problem With The Golden Arches
Luke Sharrett

Through the years, I myself have always been a McDonald's supporter. I've made a lot of wonderful memories on road trips, and especially at breakfast time thanks to this gold mine. Sure it's unhealthy fast food, but sometimes it's just good to have in your life, you know? But let me tell you, I've about had it. Because most of the time I am looking to order one thing when I walk through those doors, and 99.9% of the time I end up walking right back out. I have a feeling most of ya'll could guess what I'm about to say.

That's right, you guessed it.

THE ICE CREAM MACHINE IS ALWAYS BROKEN.

I just want a hot fudge sundae. Sometimes with extra hot fudge. Always with peanuts. I used to get so excited thinking about the little cup of heaven, but now I have to restrain myself from getting my hopes up until I walk in to ask if the ice cream machine is in fact working. I can't tell you how many times I've rapidly walked out of the restaurant to keep from screaming when they tell me the machine is down. If I had a dollar for every time they've told me this, I would be able to buy new ice cream machines for every McDonald's in the US.

Which leads me to wonder why on earth they haven't already done this. I don't think McDonald's is struggling to make money. So please tell me why you can't have working ice cream machines.

The other day I drove to 2 different Mcdonald's because I was craving a sundae. Both let me down. This isn't the first time I've traveled out of my way in search of the precious ice cream. Last year, I drove to 4 different locations on St. Patrick's Day just to get a shamrock shake, my favorite, and every single one told me the same thing. I didn't even end up getting a shake, let alone on the holiday they market the shakes for! The point is, I'm over it. I'm done wasting my time, gas, and frustration on ice cream I most likely won't get. I've made my decision. Give me working ice cream machines, and I'll give you my business. Until then, I'll see you at Wendy's. Because they'll always have a frosty waiting for me.

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.
