These are the most common cringe sayings that most firefighters have either used or said, or I personally heard that made me cringe. I will definitely admit I HAVE used some of these to get out of going somewhere or doing something. Or the situation just perfectly presents itself.

When she asks what you're thinking about..

To be honest, whenever a girlfriend wonders what he really is thinking about at night when he is on his phone, "Oh, you know. Fire Stuff." Is the typical reply, BECAUSE IT'S TRUE! JOBTOWN is the BEST TOWN!

I NEED A JOB

No, we don't actually mean a monetary job. We mean a FIRE! Only Mid-Atlantic people will get this, Job=Working Fire

"I Love Having the Tip"

No no no, it is NOT! like that. Having the tip means the first guy inside the burning building or the first guy on the hose line for any type of fire. Many significant others look at their firefighter partner, much like the minion above. Trust me it IS DEFINITELY NOT that way.

FLOOR THE Q

Do you see that silver thing right above the bumper on the driver's side of the fire truck? Welp, that's called a Federal Q2B siren, or as firefighters call it: "THE Q" this is the typical sound people associate fire trucks with. Well, flooring the Q makes the sound as loud and as high as possible and makes all firefighters giddy like school girls when they hear it. (I still get hype hearing a Q even if it's not my department :) )

IT'S A BOX *jumps up*

Strike the BOX! Box runs are the "big ones" where I am from, Boxes are usually apartment fires, dorm room fires, commercial buildings, hospitals, schools and so on. Basically, anything bigger than a normal house goes out as a box. Any time a firefighter hears a box on their pager or radio in the station, automatically expect them to jump.

In *Insert their Favorite Truck Here* WE TRUST

In "Squad" "Truck" "Rescue" whatever truck he or she likes the most the title fills here. In this case, In "Squad" we trust fits. Usually the biggest, baddest, coolest, meanest looking truck is going to fit with the slogan.

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.
