Thoughts Every Fan Had During The NFL Draft
cheatsheet

For every NFL prospect, every young man with hopes of playing proffesional football the NFL draft is a day full of hope, hard work, and dreams becoming fulfilled. For every NFL fan, every person with the hopes that their team can finally win it all the NFL draft is a day full of hope, anxiety, and head scratching moments. For every fan cheering loud and proud over their teams selection there is another fifty fans right behind him booing. Perhaps the only thing louder than the boo's of disapproval from a draft pick are the boo's rained down on commissioner Roger Goodell. As the thoughts running through the head of a player who just got drafted have to be almost unimaginable the thoughts and feelings of the fans watching the draft are just a tad bit more predictable. Diving into the head of a NFL fan on draft day and you might find some thoughts awfully similar to these:

"We are just one good pick away from a super bowl, just one more player is all we need" -Every fan ever

It is amazing how every team in the league is only one player away from a championship. Just imagine if they only got that player.

"Traded away all our picks for a kid from a school in the middle of nowhere while we have Sam Bradford as a so called started. I need a new team." - Eagles Fans

Heartbreak comes in all shapes and sizes. There are some relationships no matter how many times you get hurt you just keep going back. That is what being a Eagles fan is like. Keep searching for your next Mcnabb.

"Tony Romo who? The Cowboys can just run the ball 50 times a game now behind there line and backs. Don't even give Romo a chance to blow it."

When he is on the field it is as if he looks for ways to sabotage the Cowboys. When he is off the field it looks almost as if they need him. Lets hope that Ezekeil can help change that.

"If for nothing else the Giants drafting Eli Apple is nothing short of an amazing headline. Welcome to the Big 'Apple' is something we can see for years to come."

As long as he is in New York it will be pun after pun and that is all we can really ever ask for.

"The Laremy Tunsil story keeps getting better and better. ESPN just replayed the video of him smoking out of a gas mask for the 10th time in a row."

Never has there been a story such as this on draft night. The only way this story could have gotten better is if he fell to the twentieth pick of the fourth round.

"Tunsil's Instagram got hacked too? What a mess for him and what great entertainment for me."

At least he did not just come out and straight up admit to everything. Spoke to soon.

"Another Oregon player for Chip Kelly, who would have thought."

Talk about really having your ducks in a row.

"Corey Coleman on behalf of the NFL we are sorry that your career is over before it began. #ClevelandBrowns."

Are those tears of joy or sadness? A question worth asking.

"Why does Cleveland even bother anymore with the whole sports thing, I mean even there hometown kid Lebron left them."

Not even Cleveland likes Cleveland. True fact, just check under a snapple cap.

"I could totally pull off Ezekial Elliot's outfit if I really wanted."

You got abs we get it. Now don't let any of Tony Romo's bad luck rub off on you.

"What does Mel Kipper Jr. do for the other 362 days of the year when the draft is not on?"

Do they just hide him in the basement of ESPN and call on him when he is needed?

"If I hear one more Jon Gruden metaphor or pointless story about how this one prospect was born with a football in his hand or was born blind but football showed him the light I think I am going to lose it."

Making every player sound like a Hall Of Famer, even the ball boy.

"If Gruden is such a great football mind how come every time a quarterback draws out a play for him he looks as if he is learning something completely new for the first time."

So what your saying is spider wide x banana is a football play?

"Paxton Lynch, wow Mark Sanchez can not get a break. There goes the 'sanchize'."

Over before it began, at least we will always have his "highlights" to look at.

"Wait we drafted who? Were screwed, I guess there is always next year."

Your team never drafts the right player. Even when they do draft the so called right player they are still wrong.

"How much longer is the draft? Another two days you say? Yeah I will just watch the highlights on ESPN tomorrow."

This seemed like a much better idea in theory trying to watch this.

"This really was not as fun as it seemed."

It never is.

Yeah being a fan is one of the hardest jobs out there. Dealing with hope followed by heartbreak can be a real tough business. As much as you hate it your staying along for the ride, and just feel fortunate you could be a Browns fan.

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.
