How Chick-Fil-A Changed My Life

But it wasn't the chicken.

How Chick-Fil-A Changed My Life
Alyssa Decker

Everyone is always praising Chick-Fil-A for their incredible customer service and their deliciously tasting chicken.

There are memes and videos everywhere about the service of Chick-Fil-A, there are even Instagram pages about the behind the scenes of employees dropping things and falling. It all seems fun and games and no one ever seems upset. And I'm here to tell you that none of it is a mask, every single one of us is in love with our job.

When I first started working at Chick-Fil-A, I was convinced that it just wasn't the job for me. It was difficult for me to warm up to others after working at my first job for almost three years.

The work was a lot harder and the shifts were a lot longer. Building stamina is a hard thing to do, but I'm forever proud of myself for making it to where I am today.

Today I have been with Chick-Fil-A for nearly a year and have created bonds with not only co-workers but guests as well that I will never forget.

Chick-Fil-A has brought me to one of my best friends, my church home, and a person inside me that I never knew was there. I've grown more as a person in this past year than I ever imagined I would.

Every single one of my co-workers at this company is constantly there for each other, making sure they are where they need to be. Group chats full of prayer requests and praying with each other.

Christmas parties full of happiness and praising Jesus and so much more. This might only be my second job, but I've never worked for such an amazing and caring company.

Having a job that I look forward to going to every day is not something I expected to get out of a fast food restaurant. I never expected to grow so close to co-workers as I have here, and I never expected to meet a best friend that would teach me the word of God and help me through every obstacle I encounter, including getting me through my freshman year of college.

Thank you, Chick-Fil-A for your food, your staff, for your dedication to God, and everything you do in between working hard for your employees and your community.

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.
