The 10 Minute Musical.ly Difference
Samantha Kasselman

College is so different than high school. It is such a unique period of time in one's life. For me, I went from having a non-stop schedule filled with school from 7:40-2:55 and then dance until late at night. Of course, homework and sleep (on a good night) fit in there as well.

College; however, doesn't have a schedule. Some classes don't even have required attendance. I don't have to be involved nor do I have to go to this meeting nor do I have to do my homework nor is my mom cooking chicken at 7:00 pm sharp and only at 7:00 pm sharp. Instead, the dining hall is open all day long and the homework isn't required. I make my own choices based on what I create for my day.

While high school is about the dependence created for each student on their schedule, college is about the independence. This independence became a positive as I was enjoying my girls night in this Tuesday. It became clear that every night in college was the sleepover I had dreamed of having as a young girl.

Zoey 101 was every girl's dream. Zoey was at a boarding school where she made new friends, had new romances and ran her life. She had sleepovers all the time. Hung out with her friends whenever she wanted to. Oh, and she lived in Malibu.

Although the University of Michigan is not Malibu, I can happily say I'm living like Zoey 101. After a day of class, work, laboratory experiments, and dinner at the sorority, I was able to come home to my best friends.

And as any best friends would, our girls night in consisted of the 10-minute difference. 10 minutes of dancing and singing and happiness while making the Musical.lys that social media would say is a pastime for college students.

These Musical.ly's; however, are no past time.

They're the 10 minutes I get to just be a kid. They're the 10 minutes I get to run free from all my worries about the "adulting" search college is for. They're the 10 minutes I get to live like Zoey 101 where everlasting slumber parties are real.

Musical.ly's are the 10-minute ultimate stress reliever that makes everyone smile and laugh until they drop–literally.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant
Brisanis

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.

One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends. We are expected to study, have a social life, relationships, maybe work, and be healthy. It seems pretty easy to do, and in high school all we wanted to do was graduate and move on to this next chapter of our lives. If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.
