Anyone who has been a server knows that it can be a difficult job. There are people who just don't seem to understand the amount of work that goes into your job, and there are the ones that don't seem to care that there are other people in the restaurant. As a server you deal with all types of people. And in the list below, there are some of the worst things you hear from your customers.

1. "There's no discount? But, I know the owner..."

Yes, Susan, I know you went to preschool with the owner and he vaguely remembers you, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to discount your food.

2. *Snaps fingers to get server's attention*

You may not have verbally said anything, but by doing this, I automatically hate you and hope you never return.

3. "Oh, I'm not going to order anything, I just want to have a drink."

Oh alrighty, please feel free to take up space with your hippie husband and not order anything other than the one beer. The dollar that you give me is going to straight to the bartender anyway, so I will ignore you for the next three hours that you sit here.

4. "You were such a good waitress, I wish I could tip you." *proceeds to hug me*

Well thank you, I'll be sure to tell my landlord that she's great at her job and hug her and see if I can pay my rent that way. Kindly never return.

5. "Every time we're here, I'm going to ask for you." *proceeds to tip five percent*

No, you don't have to.

6. "Why don't you get a real job?"

I didn't realize that the money I've been earning wasn't real? Thanks for opening my eyes, sir.

7. "You're not that busy."

I know you'd like to think that the world revolves around you and your needs, but I actually have five other tables and some people sitting at the bar that I have to take care of. But please proceed to act like the only ones in the restaurant.

8. "What comes with *a dish on the menu*?"

Well if you had actually taken the time to read the menu, then you'd know.

9. "How is *a dish on the menu*?

I've never had it, but I'm going to say it's delicious, because, what else would I say? And because it's the most expensive item on the menu.

10. "This isn't what I ordered."

Really? Because I know I wrote it down, right here on my notepad, where it says that you did in fact order what I just put in front of you.

11. Server: "Hi how are y-"

Customer: "Corona."

*imagines slapping you in the face*

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
