There are only two months of school left. Your last two months of senior year. Your last two months of high school. What are you going to do to make these the most memorable months? Here’s what you shouldn’t do — don't stress about the little things because they aren’t going to matter in two months. Don’t waste your last days. These last days should be filled with many memories that you should enjoy because this time will never come again.

You are not going to remember the bad grade you got on your test or the time you only received half credit on your homework. You don’t want to remember fighting with your friends or parents. You want to remember the funny moments in class, lunch with your friends, sporting events, prom, your senior night, and the biggest event of them all — graduation day. These are the memories you’re going to remember and share when you reminisce about high school.

Whatever you do, cherish these last moments. Go to class, appreciate school lunches, and enjoy seeing your friends in the hall during passing period. Spend time with your family. I promise you, you will miss them so much when you aren’t with them. These last two months fly by so fast and you honestly won’t even have time to think about it.

You are probably ready to leave and senioritis is probably hitting everyone really hard. But it’s going to really hit you when you pick up your cap and gown, get your yearbooks, and go to your last high school rally. Then you’ll realize it when you’re going through graduation rehearsal. And then before you know it, you've already walked on that stage and got your diploma. And then you’ll think to yourself — after 3 months of summer, you won’t be coming back to this football field or auditorium.

And you will never be with these same people again.

You’ll say your goodbyes to various people throughout the summer, and then somehow all your stuff is packed up in the car or your suitcases, and your room is decorated, and your parents have left. You truly realize it the morning after sleeping in your dorm for the first time that a new chapter of your life has started.

You will finally start college, which is a great experience of its own. But seriously, don’t forget to make your senior year count because you will never get it back.

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.
