4 Reasons Working In A Fast Food Place Can Be Pretty Terrible

Fast food isn't the best job, but hey, it's money!

There's nothing wrong with working in fast food—go get that money! It isn't always the most exciting place to be, though. Here are four things that are awful about working in fast food, even though they're necessary:

1. Random rushes

I don't know why or how everybody knows to come at exactly the same time, but they do. Maybe everyone just has some telepathic abilities I haven't gained yet. It can be dead for 30 minutes, and out of nowhere about 50 billion people show up (at least that's what it feels like).

2. Dysfunctional coworkers

There's nothing worse than needing a side of fries, and the person next to the fries is too lazy to get them. I know, I know everyone slacks off every once in a while —I'm guilty, too—but I'm ready to throw hands when everyone is just sitting around.

3. When there's no customer in sight for a hot minute

Yeah, getting time to relax is nice, but there's only so much standing and staring off into space I can handle before I'm ready to hit my head against the wall. Whenever it's dead, the time drags by so slowly, and the whole day feels like years have gone by.

4. When customers wait five minutes until closing to come in

Now you had all day to come in here, why wait until the last 5 minutes? I know you see the broom and these sad faces dying to leave. It's honestly the worst, but I can't say I haven't done this...so I guess I get it.

Working in fast food isn't the best, but hey, it's money! Plus, it can be kinda fun sometimes.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
