Love: it’s a funny thing. There are too many songs to count that talk about it and so many people who look like they are in love. Love isn’t easy. It’s not something that you feel for someone immediately. It takes time to know, and for many people, knowing doesn’t hit you like a lightning bolt.

A couple days ago, a friend of mine asked me if I have ever been in love or had the feeling of complete euphoria. Honestly, I responded saying “not really” and It kind of hit like a train. All these feelings that I thought I felt of love, was mainly infatuation. Love is tricky because it enfolds more than one emotion. Love is being 100% comfortable around someone; it’s full trust and honesty. Love is to care for someone so much and only want the best for them. Love is so many things, but only you will know when you are in love.

Wait for the one, you’ll know eventually. Wait for the content feeling, knowing that everything will fit into place. Your parents will like him, your best friend will love him, and he will want you. He will want the good, the bad, and the ugly. He will want to be there for it all.

Love is fragile. It is special and unique to the couple who are in it. Love can be damaged, so try to keep the spark, and let everything happen naturally. Love is unique to each individual because they express love differently. Many people have their language of love, mine is touch and words of affirmation. It is always interesting to hear about other's love languages and see how they feel love best.

One day, I can’t wait to be in love because when I do, it will feel right.

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.
