Dear Red Sox,

We will truly miss watching you play the game that you love.

Dear Red Sox,

Another season in the books. Another season of winning, dancing, repeating and sometimes facing defeat. That 5-4 loss to Houston at Fenway on Columbus Day was not an easy one to face. Not just for you guys as a team either, but for all of Red Sox Nation, as we will truly miss not only watching you play the game that you love either on our TV screens or in the Grandstand at Fenway, but also your presence and energy around the city of Boston.

We will miss seeing the bromances (yes, #FlowBros, I’m talking about you) in action, the excitement, the jumps and the high-fives and tackles when that ball flies over the Green Monster or past the Pesky Pole, and watching the Gatorade being dumped all over someone’s white uniform after an amazing comeback win.

We will especially miss watching Benny, JBJ, Mookie and the other Boston outfielders #WinDanceRepeat in centerfield after taking home the victory. Watching the three of them dance always brings a smile to our faces, as we never know what move you three will do next or who is going to do it. (My personal favorite is either Benny’s Michael Jackson or anything Mookie Betts does because he always seems to be having the time of his life).

The names of Red Sox players always become not only household names, but heroes in the city of Boston, as you guys give so much kindness to all your fans, whether it be tossing a ball to a young boy after batting practice or posing for a picture and signing an autograph.

The city of Boston will never forget when Big Papi grabbed the microphone the day after the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013, and demonstrated to the whole world how strong of a place Boston really is. When Jerry Remy recently celebrated 30 years as the Red Sox announcer last August, America’s most beloved ballpark gave him a standing ovation and a touching pre-game ceremony, about which Remy said that “to be received like that [was] absolutely remarkable."

That truly shows the power of Red Sox Nation bringing the city of Boston together.

Red Sox, you have a special way of bringing not only the city of Boston together, but also families together. Personally, one of my favorite things to do is to sit in the living room with my family and watch the Sox game or listen to it together in the car on our way home.

On Easter Sunday, there always seems to be a game, so a group of us always squeeze onto the couch and watch the game while snacking on the delicious Italian desserts that my grandmother makes every year.

Every game time, the game is always on in almost every bar and restaurant in the Boston area, and there are always people sitting around watching it together and talking, regardless if they know each other or not.

There's truly nothing like it.


That being said, we look forward to watching you guys play in the home opener on April 5, 2018 (yes, I looked it up when the game was over). We will miss you for the time being.

Until then, rest and train hard so that you can Win, Dance and Repeat all over again.

With love,

Red Sox Nation

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.
