In case you didn't know already, I've been working at the Starbucks on campus for a little over two months now. Regardless of my time at Starbucks being short, I've learned a lot already.

Drinks aren't all that hard to make once you learn the syrup rules

Latte art is actually extremely difficult

It takes too much time to make when you're rushing.

Working the oven is the worst role possible

I strongly hate it with a passion.

Being at the register isn't all that bad

But it sucks the life out of you.

Working cold bar seems really easy to do until you have to make fraps

Fraps are the bane of all baristas' existences 

Working hot bar is just constant milk steaming and pullisng espresso shots

Rush hours are pretty stressful and the cups really stack up super fast

But it's okay once you get used to the rhythm of it.

Ice is heaver than you think

And so are milk jugs.

Your assistant managers are your friends, your supervisors are not

If you're looking to get a job at Starbucks just keep these things in mind. Just mild advice from one Starbucks worker to my future green beans :)

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
