Instagramming your trip is the most effective way to let the people in your life know that you're traveling and having the time of your life. Here is a sneak peek of a few of the places you're bound to see on my Instagram in the coming months.

1. Peggy Porschen Cakes

Probably the cutest place to get tea in London. Be sure to wear pastels to match their mugs and cakes!

2. Kenwood House

This house is open to the public free of charge. Located in Hampstead Heath, Kenwood House served as a residence to many aristocrats and boasts 112 acres of gardens and sculptures.

3. Crosstown

Each one of these little doughnuts is perfect in its own way. Many of them are marked with the signature crosstown "x" keeping them themed.

4. Notting Hill

Honestly the prettiest neighborhood in London, Notting Hill is lined with brightly colored houses and street art. Pretty much any spot in Notting Hill would make a great photo op.

5. Kew Botanical Garden

Focused on conservation and environmental issues Kew Botanical Garden is full of rare and threatened plants. Every inch of the garden is beautiful so be sure to bring your camera.

6. British Museum

With a crisp white interior and a domed glass ceiling, it is easy to see how beautiful the British Museum is, not to mention a great way to spend the day.

7. Beatles Crosswalk

This is only a 7-minute walk from my flat so you know that I will be making my way there to snap a picture at the iconic Abbey Road crosswalk.

8. Aubaine Selfridges

Oh my god, this is probably the most insanely beautiful place to go for afternoon tea. Its filled with lilacs and has the perfect picture lighting.

9. Sky Garden

London's Sky Garden is a glass dome filled with three stories of indoor public gardens and restaurants. Enjoy a meal while also enjoying an uninterrupted 360-degree view of London.

10. Sketch

Sketch has recently risen to Instagram fame in London. Each room is themed and equally photo ready, even the bathrooms.

11. Columbia Road Flower Market


Columbia Road Flower Market is only open Sundays from 8:00 am - 3:00 pm if you're lucky. Many will tell you to wake up early to get the good stuff, but others will tell you to go later and get the flowers for a better price.

These will only be a few of the adventures I expect to have this year. Hopefully, my year will be as bright and colorful as my Instagram feed.

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.
