If you have ever worked in the food industry, you know the deal.

Whether you are a server, host, manager, or even a busboy; you know you will forever be dealing with rude costumers, long hours, strict management, and ridiculous requests.

Here are 37 things, courtesy of the cast of "Grey's Anatomy," that all of us in the miraculous industry that is food, can all relate too:

1. When a customer asks for a lemon in their water and you accidently forget and it is apparently the end of the world.

2. There's always that one manager that you will just never get along with.

3. When all you want to do is take their order but you have that customer that goes on and on telling you personal details about their life.

4. There's always that customer that will give you an attitude for no reason for the whole duration of their meal.

5. When it's dinner rush on a Saturday night and you're short-staffed.

6. When you have a full section and complicated orders and get by without one mistake.

7. When your table waits until you drop their food off to ask for extra ranch.

8. When you are on top of re-fills, give them extra napkins, get their food out on time, and they still have something to complain about.

9. Greeting your table: "Hi, how are you?" *no response back*.... okay well..

10. The customer that always tells you to "smile more."

11. When your double shift is over and you have given up on life.

12. When you see the regular that doesn't tip sit in your section.

13. This is what you imagine costumers are thinking when they ask to speak to a manager.

14. When food runners run your table's food to the wrong table...

15. When you're 10 hours in with no break, no food, and a full section of rude costumers.

16. That customer that has to question if you seem to be in a bad mood.

17. When all you do is complain while you're at work but you ask your manager to give you more shifts.

18. When you're starving but there's nothing dead in the window.

19. When it's busy and everyone is freaking out but at least you know you're all in it together.

20. The costume that makes you so mad that you start "angry crying" in the kitchen and the rest of the staff is making fun of you.

21. When you've made a dozen mistakes in one night and your manager is sick and tired of dealing with your s**t.

22. That customer that asks for everything on the side.

23. The customer that literally doesn't lay off until they see that they have pushed you to your breaking point.

24. When dinner rush is over and your co-workers ask you how you did.

25. The creepy bar guest that everyone has to pretend they like even though he hits on all of the girls that work there.

26. Trying to convince the host to seat you with the good tables.

27. When the host skips you in the rotation and she'll be fine because it's not her who depends on tip money, it's you.

28. When you're over having to pretend to be happy and peppy for 10 hours.

29. When your table has been super rude all night but all is forgiven when you open the check book and see they tipped over 20%.

30. The customers that can't just wait until you finish your intro to start ordering.

31. "Can i have a water with a straw?"

32. When you can't catch a break because the host keeps double seating you.

33. When your table says they are "never coming back here again."

35. When you say you're on a wait right now and you have those guests that start walking around the restaurant pointing out empty tables.

36. The table of females that don't stop talking even when you walk over to greet them.

37. When your table is rambling on about the problems with their food but you know it's just because they want their meal for free.

I could honestly go on forever, but I'll stop myself here. Although the food industry is rough and we might scream and shout about how much we hate our jobs, as servers, we always come back and do the same exact thing the next day.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
