Everyone has music that they listen to when they are sad, when they are happy, when they want to sign and dance, and some that is just pleasing to listen to. For me, my mom raised me and my brother on country music. While I listen to other things now that I am older, I know that when I miss being young that I can rely on country music to bring me comfort. Here are some of my favorite songs to sign to.

1. “Why Don’t We Just Dance” by Josh Turner

Josh Turner's beautiful deep voice can make anyone want to sign along and dance.

2. “Love Story” by Taylor Swift

3. “Need You Now” by Lady Antebellum

4. “Goodbye Earl” by Dixie Chicks

The Dixie Chicks are amazing no matter what they do, but this song is just so fun to sing along to.

5. “You Belong With Me” by Taylor Swift

Yes, Taylor Swift again. No, she is no longer country but I still admire her old music and love it just as much.

6. “Come Back Song” by Darius Rucker

7. “Sin Wagon” by Dixie Chicks

8. “Chicken Fried” by Zac Brown Band

9. “Wagon Wheel” by Old Crow Medicine Show

This feel good song is always a good one to end the night.

10. “Hillbilly Bone” by Blake Shelton feat. Trace Adkins

11. “How Do You Like Me Now?!” by Toby Keith

12. “Baby’s Got Her Blue Jeans On” by Mel McDaniel

13. “Better Things to Do” by Terri Clark

This song makes me so proud to be a woman. It is a girl telling a boy that she has better things to do than be sad about him, which is super empowering.

14. “Should’ve Been a Cowboy” by Toby Keith

15. “Strawberry Wine” by Deana Carter

16. “Me and My Gang” by Rascal Flatts

17. “Our Song” by Taylor Swift

18. “Follow Your Arrow” by Kacey Musgraves

Another great song that is empowering. Always remember to be who you are and not let anyone else's judgments bring you down.

19. “Baby Likes to Rock It” by The Tractors

20. “Bubba Shot the Jukebox” by Mark Chesnutt

21. “Islands in the Stream” by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers

22. “Stays in Mexico” by Toby Keith

23. “Huckleberry” by Toby Keith

24. “Picture to Burn” by Taylor Swift

25. “This One’s for the Girls” by Martina McBride

26. “I Hope It Rains” by Jana Kramer

27. “Tight Fittin’ Jeans” by Conway Twitty

28. “Somethin’ ‘Bout a Truck” by Kip Moore

29. “Rock You Baby” by Toby Keith

30. “Grandpa (Tell Me ‘Bout the Good Old Days)” by The Judds

31. “Stuck Like Glue” by Sugarland

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

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.

Let's start binging!
