5 Thoughts Your Server Has
Freaking News

Being a waitress is the best/worst job a person can ever have. Being a waitress teaches a person life skills, like being able to deal with any type of person/personality because that is pretty much what you get when working with the general public. So here are a list of thoughts probably going through your servers head when you are at a restaurant, whether them being about you, or the person a couple of booths over.

1. Okay, I need to refill table 16's water, bring table 18 more chips, and OMG table 20 just asked for their 1637th side of ranch.

Their to-do list in their head is pretty much never ending, so keep this in mind the next time he/she is taking 3 minutes to bring you that extra side of ranch.

2. Wow! You just tipped me $1.50 on your family of 7 and tab that added up to $80.67, I guess a McChicken from McDonald's will be my dinner tonight!

Let's face it guys, you went to a restaurant because you wanted to eat some decent food with your family, and not have to clean up the mess. Well on your $1.50 tip, that server goes home with less than that because they have to tip out about 3%, depending on where you just ate at, to the bus boys, hostesses, and bartender on how much your meal was, this is why you should tip your server 18% at least, if they provided you good service, with a good attitude. If you do not want to tip, then eat fast food or cook at home so your server can actually pay his/her bills.

3. I think they're on a first date and I can't tell if she likes him, or if that is just a fake smile.

Yes, we are curious people, and yes we can also tell the difference between a couple eating together for the first time between one that has been dating for a long time.

4. Your baby is very cute, but I swear to God if that baby does not quit screech crying at the top of its lungs, I might start pulling my hair out.

I love babies, heck we all do, but please for the love of God take your baby outside or in to the bathroom to calm the poor thing down.

5. Oh, you came in 5 minutes before we close, thanks for currently ruining my life.

When going to a restaurant be mindful that your server has been dealing with headache, after headache for the past 6 hours, and is ready to go to bed. We love that you think our restaurant is that great, but please come a little early next time for our sanity.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
