Barnes & Noble College: Bringing The Makeup To You

Maybe it’s not Maybelline; maybe you were born with it.

Barnes & Noble College: Bringing The Makeup To You
Barnes & Noble College

Picture this: It’s the morning, you’re getting ready for the day, and you open up your holy grail of a makeup bag. You run through your normal routine—but what’s this? You're running out of your Smashbox brow pencil?

You feel the walls start to cave in, and you swear the sky is going to fall if you walk out of your dorm eyebrow-less. How the heck are you supposed to slay the day away without your trademark eyebrows? (Note: This is an actual struggle of mine and others out there who were not blessed with naturally great brows).

The nearest makeup store that sells your product is 30 minutes away, and there is no way you’ll be able to trek all the way there by tomorrow. Oh, if only they could conveniently sell makeup on campus!

Luckily, Barnes & Noble College is launching a new on-campus beauty concept called The Glossary, which basically brings a small section of cosmetics to college campuses nationwide, making it easier for a quick makeup haul at any moment of the day. Getting a new lip color to match your new dress, hiding your ugly nails with a new nail polish color, or changing your day look to something more for a night out with the gals will be as easy as getting textbooks. Treating yourself to the newest makeup palette can be done in the luxury of your college bookstore, but with an environment like Sephora.

In fact, it would be like having an Ulta or even a Sephora right on campus. The Glossary would be selling high end to drugstore brands, ranging from Smashbox to Covergirl to L'oreal.

Even if you aren’t big on makeup, you’ll still fully benefit from The Glossary on campus. You’ll be able to treat yourself and unwind after a stressful day by taking a nice bubble bath when you buy some nice smelling bubble baths from Philosophy, which they carry at The Glossary. Or if you prefer something more organic, Burt’s Bees will also be made available.

Currently, The Glossary is set up at four colleges, including Emory University, Southern Methodist University, Tulane University, and the College of William & Mary. Barnes & Noble College intends on expanding The Glossary to more campuses nationwide, so fingers crossed that Southern Oregon University is in their plans!

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.
