Letter To The Friend That Chose Her Boyfriend Over Me

It's something that should move mountains and build bridge over the toughest of times. You threw that away.

Letter To The Friend That Chose Her Boyfriend Over Me

Sierra Daniele Chapman

I wish you the best.

I honestly say that heavily. I really do wish you the best. Not just on this endeavor. On all of your life obstacles.

It hurts me to say that. But, it also hurt when you threw in my face how little our friendship meant to you.

You had been there for a lot. Been there when no one else was. I remember a time when you dropped everything and ran out of work without even telling your boss, because I was stranded on the side of the road, seven months pregnant, with no one else to come help me.

I was two hours outside of town and you had never driven on the interstate that far, was there to my rescue.

I don't forget the good you've done for me. I don't forget the times you were there when no one else was. I'm thankful for them. But, how did you forget about the times I was there for you? How did you forget about the times I held you as you cried, when no one else understood. Why does that not mean something to you?

I found out weeks back before you made it public about your newly found news. I bit my tongue. Held back my tears and said, I wish her the best.

You gave up our friendship for someone who doesn't deserve you. You threw in the towel for a relationship that has broken you down. To me, friendship is very important. It's the relationships we get to choose in life and cherish them even harder, because we get to choose those. It's something that should move mountains and build bridge over the toughest of times.

You threw that away.

I only want what's best for you. That's all I've ever done. No matter if I agreed with the situation or not, I was there for you. Rooting YOU on. What ever in life makes YOU happy, I've supported. But, you stopped talking to me. Because HE didn't want you talking to me.

I see you are extremely happy about your new plans in life. I am happy for you. I truly am. But, I draw the line at choosing someone whose screwed you over, over someone whose been there for you.

Anyone that loves you, should see friendship is valuable. Should support you. If they can't respect that. I can't respect you. Please understand me when I say that.

Please understand I love you, and your new bundle of joy. I always will. I always have. And I will always be here, at a distance.

There is gonna be so much through this journey that I wish I could be by your side for like you where mine. It won't be easy too sit back and watch from the sidelines. It would be easy to watch someone else fill the shoes with the milestones I was supposed to be there for, again like you where for mine. In life we are given options and yours was chosen.

Again, don't ever forget I love you and I'm happy for you.

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.
