Gas Station Quiznos: The Epitome of Fine Dining
http://denverfairfood.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html

After hours of highway travel on their return from vacation at Disney World, the Johnson family reveled at the sight of the sign for Quiznos adjoined with an Exxon station amidst endless miles of signs for South of the Border.

The family pulled off of the highway in their 2004 Chrysler Town and Country to see Quiznos glowing in the distance. The Johnson kids threw open the sliding doors of their minivan and raced inside. It felt like Christmas. Inside, the family was thrilled to find minimally cleaned restrooms with that signature gas station bathroom smell. The gas station was filled with delectable treats like boiled peanuts, pork rinds, and pickled hog's feet.

The Johnson's were delighted as they walked into the Quiznos to find a depressingly empty restaurant with no sign of an employee in sight. They were thrilled after 20 minutes of waiting for an employee and dozens of "hello, is anyone there?" to finally find a single employee who casually waltzed to the counter and took her time to put on her gloves finally saying, "can I help you?" in that signature sassy tone. After the glacially slow speed of their food being created, the Johnsons finally sat down and enjoyed a wonderfully subpar meal with Creed playing in the background. "A five-star eating establishment indeed," said Mr. Johnson.

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.
