We all have a willingness to travel, and explore the world. Something that not all of us may have is the proper tools, aka, money. However, the problem is there is a stigma in our society that you need a ridiculous amount of money to travel. We fail to recognize the beauty and mystery within locations in the United States. So, let's take the time to open up wonderful opportunities to travel in the US:

11. Bar Harbour, Maine

Not only can you enjoy really beautiful weather here during the summer time, but you can also enjoy fascinating views of Bar Harbour (a port in Maine). Following, there is a large strip of restaurants and places to walk around for a good time, but at a reasonable price.

10. The entire state of Connecticut

During the fall, you can experience hiking trails within the state of Connecticut, surrounding yourself by the colorful variety of leaves. In addition, you can indulge in apple cider donuts and lunch at family-owned diners.

9. Sacramento, CA

Visiting National Parks and taking part in experiencing new restaurants is sure to make your trip go lovely!

8. Seattle, Washington

For all the Starbucks addicts, this is the place to go, but not just for coffee. In Seattle, you can explore the Space Needle as well as the Pike Place Market, all for a reasonably low price.

7. Park City, Utah

Whether it be the summer or the fall, Park City's ski resort is full of fun adventurous things to do, in accordance with a variety of restaurants. At Park City, you can go on an alpine coaster, zip-lining, bungee jumping, and rock climbing.

6. Dallas, TX

At Dallas, you can explore the wide history in the John F Kennedy Museum, and surround yourself by Southern cooking in the restaurants near the center of the city.

5. Washington DC

The nation's capital is home to a deluxe variety of museums, architecture, colleges, and nature walkways. Take advantage of it, and its the little things that really matter.

4. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The "City of Brotherly Love" is home to Reading Terminal Market, One Liberty Observation Deck, and the Liberty Bell. The food in Philly is sure to take you by surprise (at how good it is and how little it costs generally).

3. New York City, New York

This jungle of concrete is truly where dreams are made of: from Broadway, to Times Square, to all the good food. The key is to find a hotel in New Jersey, and pay half the price of what you would pay if you stayed in New York itself.

2. Orlando, Florida

In Orlando, you have the full packaged experience. Not only can you visit Disney World, Busch Gardens, and Sea world, but you can also visit the local beaches as well as local night life and restaurants.

1. Los Angeles, California

And last but not least- LA is home to everything that Orlando has, except a little bit more hype as it is near Hollywood, Rodeo Drive, and all of the glamour that is California. The key here is to stay outside of the city and then drive, to make sure you don't pay an insanely price for hotels.

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.
