If you're entering college as a Freshman, it can be pretty scary. Have no fear because I'll help you with all the tips and tricks you need. This will be like Delaney's Declassified Freshman Survival Guide, except not because that would be copyright infringement. I'll just give you some ideas on how to survive your Freshman year of college.

The first tip is to make sure that you befriend the people who work in any area with food because it will be made better and with love. This is important because food is important. This is how you start off with a bang. Writing an article and in life, you start off with a bang by talking about food. You will be that funny, so relatable, hashtag goals kid. "OMG you love food too?! Yaaas best friend for life fam." So make sure you talk about food to everyone you meet, comment on others food, try a bite of their food, make them food, and make them into food. Wait what? So as long as food is topic of conversation, you'll be popular.

If you're ever finding yourself late to class, just invest in a pair of heelys. You'll roll right up to your desk and probably fall over but, you'll be on time and that's all professors care about! Grades? Nah. Homework? Forget it! Your mental health and well-being? WHAT'S THAT?! But, you walk in one minute late and the world smokes over and ends. Also, god forbid there's a coffee in your hand. Such heathen behavior that is.

Next tip is on the first day of classes, when professors ask if you have a preferred nickname, always respond with "Harambe." That should be everyone's nickname. Rest his soul.

If you're at a social gathering and a creepy boy is trying to hit on you and getting closer by the minute, don't worry just tell him how you're mentally unstable and can com-bust at any minute. If that doesn't work, because guys seem to love that, just say you're a feminist because that really is creep repellent. No, really if you're not a feminist you should be.

Always make sure that your music is playing so loud through your headphones, that others can hear it. Why have my own headphones when I could just listen to a mumbled version of yours? It really saves my phone battery!

Make sure to scream your political/ religious views to anyone with ears. That really gets you friends. Especially if you have car bumper stickers expressing those views!

Finally just have fun. Life is too short not to have fun in college, especially with the Illuminati trying to kill us all and what not. So eat that burrito, binge watch that show on Netflix, go to that frat, make friends with a space alien, swallow some questionable liquids, and make sure you study. Grades are important, but not the world and I don't want to give all this great advice without including that. If you fail a test, you'll get 'em next time. If you fail 5 tests then what are you doing? Use the tutoring center that your thousands of dollars of tuition is going toward.

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.
