Now, I know what you are thinking: hedgehogs?! No, they are not porcupines, but they are the most adorable little animal you can own besides the basic dogs and cats. Now hedgehogs are illegal in some states, so keep that in mind after reading this because you will fall in love and want one. Here are eight reasons why you should love hedgehogs!

1. They are different!

At first, you may not be sure about the hedgehog, but then you hold one and can't resist to smile and fall in love.

2. They love belly rubs just as much as you do!

How can you resist a good belly or back rub? Your hedgehog will love one from time to time.

3. They are adventurous with the little things!

You can't help but laugh when you give a hedgehog a empty roll of toilet paper. They look so adorable walking around with a cone on their head.

4. They make friends with your other furry friends!

Hedgehogs are friendly little guys and are not scared of animals bigger than them. Besides, their quills protected them if your furry friend tries to eat them. Let's just say that will be the last time they try to eat your hedgehog.

5. They will always give you a smile!

After rough days, there is always your little guy that will cheer you up. I mean, how can this hedgehog in water not make you smile and brighten your day?

6. They are sassy AF!

You can expect your hedgehog to be sassy at times. Sometimes they won't want to be played with or want bath time; be prepared for them to prick you with their quills or give you a little bite. Nothing you can't handle though!

7. They are funny and just love life!

But seriously, these baby hedgehogs are adorable and just so funny. Nibbling on fingers and licking their quills. They just have funny and cute personalities.

8. They will love you in return!

My heart just melted right here. How can you resist a hedgehog now?

If you didn't have your heart melt at any of these GIFS, you probably don't have a heart. I think I did my job on convincing you to love a hedgehog. Even if you don't own one, you can obsess over them now as much as I do. You're welcome!

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.
