Aiken: El Mejor Pueblo Del Mundo

Oct 11, 2016

Aiken. No el Aiken, Maine pero el Aiken, South Carolina. Posiblemente es el lugar más lindo que el mundo nos ha regalado.

Pues. La mayoría de la gente cree que un pueblo con menos de 30 mil personas es demasiado chico y que no hay mucho que hacer. Pero, de verdad, esta perspectiva es producto de la ignorancia. Punto! Al contrario, hay bastantes cosas para convencer a todos a regresar a este bellísimo pueblo.

Un gran procentaje del pueblo son tramos largos de granjas fértiles y planas que no atraen a mucha gente. Sin embargo, puedo decir que los duraznos de estas granjas son los mejores de este planeta. Además, la gente pone estos duraznos en una variedad grande de postres. Nunca podrás decir que comiste un mejor plato de tarta de melocotón suculenta con una bola de helado de durazno encima.

Dado que hay tramos largos de tierra, Aiken es el lugar ideal para ver y practicar el polo, el cual es el deporte que las personas de clase económica alta de Europa y Argentina juegan. Los jugadores están montados en caballos y tratan de colocar una bola de plástico entre dos palos con un mazo. Es el deporte más elegante de todos. Históricamente, Aiken ha sido un pueblo de caballos, y por eso este pueblo ha atraído gente del extranjero y de muchas partes de los Estados Unidos, y ha sido la cuna para que gente pueda hacer sus sueños de cuidar caballos una realidad.

Además de la tierra, el costo de vida y la localización son ideales también. Las viviendas y educación siempre han tenido precios más bajos que la mayoría de otros lugares en los Estados Unidos. Y por eso, muchos retirados del Norte compran casas en Aiken. Por otra parte, la comida también es muy barata. ¿Ocho dólares para un bufet libre de una variedad de barbacoa y pudín de bananas? De verdad es la mejor oferta en cualquier restaurante que visites. Además, la gasolina es baratísima y es el lugar perfecto para llenar el tanque en cualquier viaje.

Aiken tiene una localización ideal porque está cerca de muchos sitios en el Sur de los Estados Unidos. Si eres un fanático ávido de la NFL, puedes ir a un partido de los Atlanta Falcons o los Charlotte Panthers que están a dos horas y media de Aiken. Pero si prefieres ir a los mejores partidos de futbol americano universitario entonces Aiken es ideal. No tienes que manejar más de dos horas y media para ver un partido de la Universidad de Clemson, Universidad de Georgia o la Universidad de Carolina del Sur. Pero si a ti no te gustan los deportes, entonces encuentras muchas de las mejores playas en la Costa Este sin tener que salir del estado como Charleston, Myrtle Beach y Hilton Head.

Aunque Aiken no sea el lugar más emocionante del mundo, es un lugar increíble para vivir. Yo viví ahí por 18 años y no me puedo quejar. En ningún sitio aparte de Aiken despertarás con el olor sutil de los duraznos madurando y tampoco encontrarás un sitio con gente más cariñosa. Es el lugar ideal para crecer y debería ser el objetivo de cada persona visitar este lindísimo pueblo.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

University of Akron

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.

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

Anytime you turn a corner the words "corner!" without you even realizing.

People are amazed at how professional you are when speaking to strangers, or on the phone

When we say "table 17 is on a bus", table 17 isn't LITERALLY on a bus.

You understand the frustration of the functions of another existing restaurant when going out to eat.

When you repeat the same spiel 40 times you start to sound like a lifeless robot.

The rush of prime dinner service. The chaos is riveting.

You have "that guy" at a table that makes you want to pull your hair out.

Getting stiffed an entire tip is worse than dealing with a difficult human being.

When you're sitting in a restaurant you don't dare interrupt your servers table presentation.

At the end of the night, you take the first opportunity you get to take a seat.

Not everything you learn in college can be found in a textbook.

Your self control and motivation directly correlate to how close the end of the semester is.

Group projects seem to be something created by the devil himself.

Remember when you were young and you knew everything there was to know? Wrong: you knew nothing.

If there is free food offered - go!

Never believe a professor when they tell you "Don't worry, this won't be on the test."

If you want a relationship with someone, it will take effort.

Check your email before you trudge all the way to class to find out it is cancelled.

You do not need a ton of friends, just a couple of really good ones.

Take the time to do what you love.

Every Saturday you will avoid doing homework like it is the plague. When Sunday rolls around you will complain that you have way too much stuff to do and not enough time to do it.

Your college experience is what you make of it.
