Nothing is worse than working at a sports bar: the noise, the drunk people, the sports. But by far the worst part are the sports fans. They're obnoxious, loud, rude, and they unsurprisingly don't tip. But among these horrible sports fans are the worst of the worst, the fan bases are known across the board for being the biggest jack asses of them all, as known industry-wide by the servers and bartenders who have to put up with them.

Ask any server and they'll agree that these five fan bases are the worst of them all.

5.  UCF Knights.

Giphy

Yes, even our beloved UCF Knights. As Orlando's hometown team, you'd think our local fan base would be less of an asshole to service industry people. But alas. Nothing is worse than waiting on a table of college-aged jerk faces who get trashed and yell "UCF KNIGHTS" in your ear all night.

4.  New Orleans Saints.

Giphy

I can't even write this without cringing at the thought of the "WHO DAT" chant. Let's face it, Saints fans aren't even literate enough to have a chant that makes sense, let alone be decent to their servers. Saints are somehow even more obnoxious than UCF fans yet get the most butthurt when their team loses, again.

3.  Dallas Cowboys.

Giphy

Ah, you already knew the Cowboys would make the list. Cowboy fans may not be known for their loud obnoxiousness, but anyone who's ever waited on a Cowboys fans knows how fricken arrogant they are. It's a quiet, subdued arrogance that makes you want to spit in their food and punch them in the face. And you can't even hold on to the hope that they might tip well, because they never do. And deep down we all know that.

2. New England Patriots.

Giphy

Oh the Patriots. We all hate you guys almost as much as everyone hates Tom Brady. Let me just say, Patriot fans are the punchline to almost every joke we have in the service industry. And almost every team from the Northeast is just as bad. Maybe it's the accents and the general haughtiness of northern assholes, but Patriot fans are pretty much unbearable. I'd rather wait on a table of tweens than any number of Patriots fans, and that's saying something.

1.  Philadelphia Eagles.

Giphy

Let me just start by saying that Eagle fans were just as obnoxious before they won the Super Bowl. And winning the Super Bowl last year just made them ten times worse. Maybe it's just Philadelphia culture, but Eagles fans get TRASHED and they get MEAN. They're selfish, prideful, arrogant, and rude. And they think they're the shit. They'll camp out in your section for hours and leave chump change for their tip. And if I have to hear the "Fly, Eagles, Fly" anthem one more time, I will probably gouge my ears off. Just watch the game from home, Eagles fans.

If you claim to be a part of any of these five fan bases, you are welcome to stay far, far away from my bar. Unless you plan to keep your head on next time your team plays, which it seems like no one is capable of doing when watching a game in public. And at least if you're going to show out in public, please, please tip your servers and bartenders accordingly. No one likes having to babysit a bunch of adults who lose their mind over an overrated game of catch.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
