Who doesn't love the food at Portillo's? The only thing that gets in the way between you and your food at Portillo's is the line, but the wait at Portillo's just got shorter!

The popular Chicago-style food resturant announced Monday August 8th, Portillo’s will launch an app for Apple, Android devices, allowing you to order food for pickup that was create to allow customers for pickup inside the restaurant or even in the drive-thru, according to a Portillo's news release.

Customers get $5 off a mobile order of $15 or more when they use the promo code "HOTDOG" at checkout, the news release said. Also, those who register on the app from now through the end of the month will also be eligible in a contest to win Portillo's meals for a year!

After placing an order thru the app, customers can pick up inside the restaurant — either to the bar area or a kiosk near the front door, depending on the restaurant — or in the drive-thru, which typically has a second lane so customers can get their food and then pull around the other cars, Portillo's spokesman Nick Scarpino said in an email.

“Our original ordering system that we still use today was created by founder Dick Portillo. In the restaurant our teams write customer orders as short abbreviations on each Portillo’s bag, which are identifiable to our whole team,” says Keith Kinsey, Portillo’s CEO said in the statement. “It was important to us to maintain this piece of our brand identity as we expanded our digital offerings. The Olo team was able to work with us to create a unique product that is unlike any other restaurant app.”

Once downloaded, the app allows users to select a Portillo’s location, choose their food and place their order for in-store or drive-thru pickup, allowing them to skip the line.

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.
