40 Thoughts We Have While Getting Ready For A Big Day

It's a big day, for whatever reason, and it's time to get up and get ready. Sometimes we wake up ready to take on the world, but most of the time, our motivation is lacking. Either way, we've all been through the harrowing stages of waking up and getting ready in the morning, especially when we have a big day ahead of us!

Here are the 40 thoughts we have while getting ready for a big day.

1. I know the alarm is coming, but I refuse to open my eyes until it does.

2. Seriously, why am I even thinking about the alarm going off right now? I should still be sleeping.

3. I know it's coming. I can't do this.

4. THERE IT IS.

5. Why did I think I needed two hours to get ready? It's only a wedding.

6. I need to avoid all mirrors before I get into the shower. Not trying to see the damage of a poor night's sleep right now.

7. Of course I'm just now realizing that I left my razor at my parents' house this weekend.

8. I cannot wear that dress with hairy legs!

9. Is pantyhose still a thing?

10. Oh god, my armpits too...

11. Pantsuits are cool now, right?

12. Nah, there's no way I can pull that off.

13. I'm just never going to get out of the shower and say that I'm deathly ill.

14. Actually, that's not an option. The groom's brother is single and I've been waiting for this day my whole life.

15. Alright, that's slightly dramatic, but he's perfect and I need to be there.

16. Also for my friend getting married, I guess.

17. SNAP OUT OF IT, GIRL!

18. Holy crap, I just spent 32 minutes in the shower.

19. Now I have to rush. This is why we can't have nice things.

20. Okay, time to look in the mirror and see what we're working with.

21. I'm a monster.

22. This is worse than I thought. CODE RED.

23. Luckily, I'm #blessed with two new pimples this morning.

24. There goes another tube of cover up.

25. I swear, one day my skin will be flawless and I will be a goddess.

26. It will be a Taylor Swift style transformation!

27. Don't you love when the makeup all over your hands gets on everything you touch?

28. Including the dress I'm supposed to wear...

29. Oh my god, I can't wear this now.

30. Back to scavenging in my roommate's closet!

31. Where the hell is that purple lace romper she wore to semi-formal?

32. Ugh, I am so bloated and it's not going to fit.

33. How is it not here, she wore it a week ago!

34. Ah, I knew I would find you, sneaky!

35. Ew, it smells like sweat and beer.

36. A little perfume never hurt anyone, am I right?

37. Wait, YES. This is perfect. Outfit on FLEEK, for sure.

38. I better get a good Instagram later.

39. I have to leave in 15 minutes?! How did time go by that fast?

40. OH MY GOD, I forgot about my hair...

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.
