​13 Tips to Remember Each Day.
Sparkle Quotes

No matter where you live, your age, or life situation, we all struggle and face problems within life. Sometimes you may need extra reminders to get you through the day. These are helpful tips to live by and remember each day you wake up and start the day.

1. Somebody loves you. Whether it’s your parents, lover, or best friend. There’s at least one, but probably many individuals who love you and are rooting for you.

2. It’s okay to take naps, especially during hard, stressful, or tiring days. Don't let others discourage you for this.

3. Self love is so important. Before loving someone else, make sure to love yourself

4. Put your phone down, whether it’s for 10 minutes or an hour. Enjoy the people or things around you.

5. Every single person around you is going through or struggling with something. Be kind and thoughtful of others feelings.

6. It’s okay to ask for advice or guidance when you need it. The people who surround you and love you are your support system. You don’t need to go through obstacles alone.

7. Don’t give up when things get hard. Maybe it’s a sport or a class, but whatever it may be, try your best to complete it. You'll be proud of yourself at the end of it.

8. Don’t be so afraid to do things on your own. Having friends to be surrounded by is nice, but be independent. If you need to study go to the library alone or if a good movie comes out and no one else wants to see it, go watch it by yourself. Being independent is the first step to truly growing up,

9. Don't lie. Be honest with yourself and others.

10. Life is full of things to do, so stop saying you’re bored. Get a job, shop at the mall until your feet hurt, go on road trips, or try new restaurants and cafes in the city you live in. The list of things you can do go on and on. Make the best of life.

11. Have a routine for your busy days. Take your vitamins and drink your coffee and get the day started.

12. If you’re not happy about your current situation with life or maybe your appearance, remember that you have the power to change anything about yourself within a matter of seconds. Get a new hairstyle, introduce yourself to new people and make friends, or be adventurous and try something different.

13. Most importantly, remember that just because you may be having a hard/bad day, doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad life.

Whatever it may be that gets you through each day and makes you feel better, stick to it. Have a positive and open mindset.

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.
