11 Thoughts A Bakery Worker Has On Fastnacht Day

"I hate my life."

Fastnacht Day... Donuts galore. It's the perfect way to kick off Lent. But for the bakeries that have to make the pastries, it's not a good day. We work hard, making dozens and dozens of fastnachts in so little time. It's exhausting. Here are a few thoughts that run through our heads on this special day.

1. WHY???

Why are people obsessed with these things? Why do they try to order 60 dozen at the last minute? Why do they not understand why fastnachts are not filled with cream or jelly??

2. "Is something burning in here?"

"Oh no, it's okay. We're just frying off some fastnacts."

3. When your boss asks if you can stay longer when you're about to clock out.

No...no...NO.

4. "Ow! The oil just burned me!"

I hate working with oil so much.

5. "I'm over this."

After about the sixtieth dozen you have made, it's time to call it quits... Just kidding, we're just getting started.

6. "My clothes are so messy!"

I have powdered sugar in places it shouldn't be.

7. "I just lost count..."

I just counted 326 fastnachts...or was it 328?

8. "There is sugar and oil EVERYWHERE."

Anyone know who's cleaning tonight?

9. "So when do I get MY fastnacht?"

media.giphy.com

"Never," says your manager.

10. "I hate my life."

media.giphy.com

Me, too.

11. "I deserve a drink after this."

Heck yes we do. Let's do it.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
