The Georgia Bulldogs have been exceptional in the past two seasons after a down year of Jacob Eason leading the offense. Last season in a bounce-back effort, Nick Chubb, Sony Michel, and an extremely talented defense led the Dawgs to the National Championship game. This year, the team is very young but still incredibly talented. The future is bright for this group.

1. 6 more years of Kirby

After the National Championship game, Kirby Smart was given a new contract due to his success with the team. He has been a huge improvement as a coach for Georgia and has been even better at recruiting players to come join up. Smart has been fantastic at getting the most out of his players and continues to improve his squad every week. The trend will only continue upwards with him around for the next 6 years, at least.

2. Great recruiting class for 2019

The Dawgs have the number three overall recruiting class in the nation for 2019. They just committed four-star running back prospect, Kenny McIntosh, to join up with 2018 running back recruits Zamir White and James Cook to form an intimidating trio. Georgia is also bringing on the top recruit in the nation in pass rusher Nolan Smith. Five star wide receiver, Dominick Blaylock is also among the incoming freshman. Kirby Smart will have many new toys available going into next year.

3. Jake Fromm is only a sophomore

This is only year two for the standout quarterback. There were the makings of a QB controversy at the start of the season between Fromm and freshman Justin Fields. Fromm quickly silenced those rumors with his play and took a firm hold on the starting duties. The sophomore quarterback is outstandingly poised on the field and rarely becomes rattled. If he stays for his senior season, the Dawgs will have two more full years of Fromm to lead this offense.

4. D'Andre Swift is only a sophomore

Swift has had a bit of a rollercoaster season. He started off hot but got hurt just a few games into the year. It took some time but he appears to now be back to his top form.

D'andre Swift 77 yard TD run

Swift is one of the most explosive players in the SEC and has multiple touchdowns over 50 yards. He had a career high 186 rushing yards on just 17 carries against Auburn. Swift had an 83 yard run against Kentucky. He will more likely than not be in the NFL one day but Georgia fans still have time to see him fly.

5. Big games

Georgia has been working on scheduling over the past few weeks. Home and home series' against both Clemson and Texas have been scheduled. Those games don't happen until 2028 through 2030 but it is good to see that UGA is working on scheduling tougher opponents in the future. The Dawgs take on Notre Dame in Athens next season and that will be one of the biggest games that Athens has seen in a while.

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.
