18 Signs You're Done With This Semester

I am no longer ashamed to cry in public.

18 Signs You're Done With This Semester

It's the time for late night studying, questioning what you're doing with your life and an excessive amount of crying. That's right; it's the end of spring semester. You may feel like you're falling into a bottomless pit of despair, because you are, but at least you're not going through this hell alone.

Virtually everyone on campus (minus a few people who you currently hate with your entire being) are going through the exact same thing you are. The natural response to "how are you?" has disintegrated from "good" to "fine" to "alright" to "help me, I'm dying."

If you find yourself dreaming of the days when you can sit like a vegetable on your couch with your dog nearby, you might be done with your semester. If you're not at that point quite yet, here are some other signs it's time for you to go home:

1. You haven't done laundry in weeks, so your outfits are starting to become weirder as you search through your remaining clothes to find something to wear.

2. You get irrationally angry at everyone over the smallest things.

Sometimes you get angry at inanimate objects, too. It depends on who gets in your way.

3. Your professor assigned a final paper and a final exam.

4. Ordering has gone from once a week to once a night.

5. You are no longer ashamed to cry in public.

People are more likely to offer words of encouragement than to judge you.

6. You're considering taking up alcoholism.

7. You no longer have the will to get up for morning classes/early studying.

Maybe it's because you've been going to bed at 2 a.m. every night doing work.

8. Showering/personal hygiene is optional.

Once again, people probably aren't going to judge you.

9. You call your family more for absolutely no reason.

10. You go on large adventures you really don't have the time for.

Sure, you have two exams and a paper due tomorrow, but Chipotle sounds awesome.

11. You have no money, but you spend more money than you have all semester.

12. The best part of your day is lying in your bed for the 20-minutes before you fall asleep.

13. You've never watched more videos of cute animals in your life; nor have you taken this many Buzzfeed quizzes.

No one else is being productive either.

14. People keep telling you to cheer up, but that just makes it worse.

15. Everything makes you laugh. And then you start crying.

16. You think you're being philosophical when you write your final papers, but you're really just spitting out garbage.

17. You've considered running away more than once today.

18. You keep telling everyone how done you are with the semester.

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.
