As waiters and waitresses, we've all thought this a time or two. I mean lets be honest...

1. "Did I ever put in my table's order?"

2. "I can't believe I have to tell my table we're out of fries."

3. "Yes your peach unsweet tea is really unsweet. The peach flavor is a sweetener."

4. "Are you actually gluten-free or you just think it's healthier and like to be difficult?"

5. *Customer leaves a kind note on the receipt/tells manager*

"I'm never quitting, I love food service and my job."

6. *Customer leaves a hateful note on the receipt/ tells manager*

"I'm done and can't wait to leave this place."

7. "I'm your server...not your servant."

8. "Yes loading your potato costs extra, are you kidding me?"

9. "I really don't mind scribbling out what you ordered while I'm standing here, but don't change your order 5 minutes later when your food is halfway done..."

10. *Customer asks if they can order another drink*

"Well we've been closed for 20 minutes so no."

11. *Assigned another table*

"It's fine, I'm already seating half the restaurant anyway."

12. "You ate the buffet, are you really asking for a to-go box?"

13. "Who's table is that?!"

14. *Group of 10+ friends walk in 20 minutes to close*

15. *Smells something identical to the kitchen at work somewhere outside of work*

16. Coming back to your table and seeing that someone already refilled their drinks*

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
