10 Things That Ice Cream Scoopers Are Tired Of Hearing

Being an ice cream scooper definitely has perks from the endless amounts of ice cream to take home, or the fact that you're the sole reason why someone is smiling. The job can be fun, but when you're dealing with so many people, it sometimes can be very overwhelming and frustrating when your customers aren't as cooperative as you'd like them to be. In a perfect world, a customer would pleasantly order their ice cream in the correct size, cup and toppings with no questions or error. But this isn't a perfect world and customers very rarely please you. Here are just some examples of things customers say that may make my eyes roll on the inside.

1. "I actually wanted that on a cone."

Hence the reason why I asked you if you wanted a cup or a cone in the first place.

2. "Can I actually have this to go?"

Can I actually go home?

3. "Gummy bears, Oreos, m&m's on top please!"

How about you take a second to check if we actually have candy on the menu, I don't want to take five minutes explaining every topping we do or do not have.

4. "What are your sizes?"

Even if I tell you we don't have a medium size, you're still probably gonna order one.

5. "How much is *insert menu item*?"

Do you order something from a restaurant without looking at the price on the menu first?

6. "What's the best flavor?"

I'm just trying to earn money to pay for school I don't need this kind of pressure in my life.

7. "What is in the Oreo ice cream?"

Bacon.

8. "Can I taste seven flavors that I'm not even going to end up ordering?"

Of course you can, but please.

9. "Can you make an exception for me?"

I don't care how little you tip me after, you cannot have two flavors in one scoop it just doesn't make sense!

10. "I'd like that quart wrapped up please."

No one ever gets their quarts not wrapped, please let me wrap it up in peace after I set it on the counter.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
