It sucks being miles apart but you are my best friend.

To My Best Friend In Another State
Megan Dusenberry

We have a lot of friends but not a lot a best friends. It can be really hard to call someone your best friend. I knew when I met my best friend we were going to be great friends but I didn't know we were going to end up being best friends. My best friend is a very special person in my life. They are the first person I go to when I need someone to talk to. When I am sad they will always try their hardest to cheer me up. They give me the best hugs in the whole wide world! They are the shoulder to cry on, because I know that they truly care about me.

Dear Best Friend,

I know we are miles away from each other but we are never truly apart. We might not talk every day or see each other a lot but that doesn't matter. Even though we are in the different state and we each have our own lives we are still here for each other. We are always just a phone call or skype call away.

There is really no one else that I would rather be best friends with then you. You are my side kick. You are the peanut to my butter. You are the mac to my cheese. You are the sassy chick I need in my life. I know that we can be complete opposites but I think in a way we need.

I try and think what my life would be without and it was be so boring. You have brought so much adventure and joy in to my life. You have really pushed me to be a better me.

Thank you for being my best friend. When I was having a rough time you were always right by my side. Whenever I needed a shoulder to cry on you were there. Whenever I needed someone to talk to you were always there waiting to listen.

Thank you for dealing with me. I know I am a pain in the butt sometimes because I can never listen. But you still listen to me complain about everything. You still sit there to try and give me more advice. You even give me advice over and over again then still sometimes I don't even take. You just roll your eyes and wait for me to complain some more.

Thank you for making me laugh till I cry. I swear you are still one the funniest people I know. You are one of the only people that can still make me laugh whenever I am in the worst mood. Whenever we get together it is always a good time and we always have so much fun together.

Thank you for telling me the truth. You were and still are never afraid to sugar coat things just to make me feel better. You tell me how it is. You tell me what I need to hear.

Honestly, if it was not for you I do not think I would be the person I am today. You have made me a stronger person. You have inspired me to go out in the world and be my own person. You have made me see the true me. Thank you for being my best friends after all these years and being miles apart. I love you.

Forever and Always,

Your Best Friend

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.
