An Open Letter To My Sister While I'm At College

Hey Sissy,

I miss you more than words could ever and will ever describe. Life without you is so hard, and I miss your ray of sunshine in my day every day. It's so hard to not see you every day and tell you how my day was and hear how exciting yours was and how much fun you had at school. I wish I could see you every day and just hear your voice. I want you to know that no matter what, you'll always be my best friend. No matter how many holidays I will be missing in the next years, always know that it's not because of you.

You're the reason I do everything that I do. Whenever I'm about to quit, I always think of you and then I know that I can do it and get through the day. You're the reason I work as hard as I do because I know that you would want me to, and I know that you are my biggest fan. I would never want to let you down. I want you to know that if things are hard, I'm just a phone call away, and I'll make sure I'm right there to help you get through any bad times. Any boy, school, or friend troubles and everything in between. Having you here with me would be ideal because then I wouldn't have to miss you so much, but I know that I have to let you spread your wings and fly, and I won't be the thing that holds you back. I have videos saved on my phone of my most favorite moments with us, and they help on the rough days and they make me smile when I really need it.

Thank you for taking care of Mom and Dad while I'm gone. I know they miss me too, and I know how sappy Mom can get, and you're the best at making them laugh even though I'm supposed to be the funny one. I'm always known to those who don't know us as your sister and that used to bug me because I wasn't my own person, but I'm glad that I now know that having that title is the best possible title known to man and I'm so happy to be known as the person who is your sister, pain in the butt, and very best friend. I don't want you to think that I left you, because I hate seeing you upset and I would never leave you ever. You mean more than the world to me and I miss you so much it hurts. I can't wait to see you graduate high school and see you go on and spread your wings and fly on to your successful life. One day when we are old and crusty, this will all seem like a million miles behind us and for now it's hard, but we'll get through it. You're the light in my day and the shine in my life. Love you more than life and I'll see you soon.

With love,

Mad Mad

P.S. Can't wait for summer

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.
