31 Times I Fell In Love With Michigan State

There’s this place that I call home. It's where I have spent the most amazing year of my life, and where I'll be lucky enough to spend the next three, as well. With every day I spend at Michigan State, I fall more and more in love. It's the people, the experiences and the ability to say that I am a Spartan. These are just 31 of the many times I have fallen in love with MSU all over again:

1. Walking around campus during your tour as a high schooler and realizing you are home

2. Every time the football team runs out onto the field and your body gets covered in goose bumps

3. Being in the student section at football games

4. Going to your first frat party

5. Your first MSU Dairy Store experience

6. The first time you see something odd floating down the Red Cedar River

7. Seeing Munn Field covered in tents for the Izzone Campout

8. When Michigan fumbled the ball and we won with no time left on the clock

9. All the memories (even the ones you can't remember) from Rick's

10. Going to Conrad's after a night at Rick's

11. When you see a professor skate boarding to class

12. When you realize half of your closet is green and white

13. When the alumni come home to tailgate

14. When there are puppies at the lib

15. When you realize there is a club for almost anything

16. When you leave campus and still see Spartan fans everywhere

17. Playing an intramural sport

18. When they shot a scene from Batman on campus

19. Dressing up for all 3 nights of Halloween

20. Seeing the passion that the professors have for what they are teaching you

21. Being a part of a Big Ten school

22. While standing on top of Shaw Ramp looking out over the campus

23. Running at IM West and being able to look over the balcony at all the buff guys working out

24. After accepting your bid into Greek Life

25. Participating in a study abroad

26. While getting hit by a bagel outside Cedar Village

27. While getting screamed at by Wells Hall preachers

28. When the weather is perfect and everyone is outside

29. Realizing you still have your combo exchange for that day

30. While painting the rock

31. Being a part of the Spartan Family

Michigan State is so much more than just a school. It is a place where you find your best friends, create your future and make memories that you will never forget. It's home.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

Anytime you turn a corner the words "corner!" without you even realizing.

People are amazed at how professional you are when speaking to strangers, or on the phone

When we say "table 17 is on a bus", table 17 isn't LITERALLY on a bus.

You understand the frustration of the functions of another existing restaurant when going out to eat.

When you repeat the same spiel 40 times you start to sound like a lifeless robot.

The rush of prime dinner service. The chaos is riveting.

You have "that guy" at a table that makes you want to pull your hair out.

Getting stiffed an entire tip is worse than dealing with a difficult human being.

When you're sitting in a restaurant you don't dare interrupt your servers table presentation.

At the end of the night, you take the first opportunity you get to take a seat.

Not everything you learn in college can be found in a textbook.

Your self control and motivation directly correlate to how close the end of the semester is.

Group projects seem to be something created by the devil himself.

Remember when you were young and you knew everything there was to know? Wrong: you knew nothing.

If there is free food offered - go!

Never believe a professor when they tell you "Don't worry, this won't be on the test."

If you want a relationship with someone, it will take effort.

Check your email before you trudge all the way to class to find out it is cancelled.

You do not need a ton of friends, just a couple of really good ones.

Take the time to do what you love.

Every Saturday you will avoid doing homework like it is the plague. When Sunday rolls around you will complain that you have way too much stuff to do and not enough time to do it.

Your college experience is what you make of it.
