Dear Clothing Companies, Girls Stuck Between Skinny And Plus-Size Need To Get Dressed, Too

What about the girls who are in-between these sizes?

While shopping for bathing suits is exciting and easy for some, it can be a burden for others. Shopping for bathing suits can especially be a burden online. Because I kind of have a larger chest, any kind of bathing suit shopping is pretty hard.

Many companies nowadays still only have smaller chested/skinny models modeling their bathing suits. This is a big problem because it really just targets women with smaller chests and usually no bigger than a size 2. They don't model how it will fit women with curves or how supportive it will be. Women with larger chests need something that will be comfortable and supportive.

They're all so cute, but it's very difficult to find one that's going to fit you because the models they use aren't very realistic.

Realistically, most women have a typical shopping trip when looking for bathing suits. We walk into that section, walk around, pick up several that we like, try them on, but then we leave with nothing. And don't even get me started on online shopping. If you want to shop online, you have to look for companies that use curvier models so that you know it'll fit you properly.

I just think it's time that more stores and companies make shopping easier for women.

Yes, there are places that exclusively sell for plus size women, but what about the girls who are in-between? I'm not a size 2, but I also don't wear plus sizes. So I have so many problems trying to find really anything that fits, especially because of my larger chest.

So, to those companies, please make clothes that don't only fit small chested and small waisted women.

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.
