16 Apologizes To Your Restaurant Co-Workers

Lauren Mathis

To my restaurant crew,

It’s weird to say that I think of you all as my family, but in some ways, each and everyone of you are. I spend more time with 90 percent of you than I do with my actual family. Working in a restaurant, full of drama and gossip, is such a fun job, but there are also many things to say sorry for. So, this is to all you beautiful little weirdos.

- I’m sorry for not vacuuming the back room after I demolished some nachos and got crumbs all over the floor.

- I’m sorry for calling in sick, causing you to close on a Monday for the third time in a row, even though it was my turn.

- I’m sorry for getting the request off you wanted, even though you asked for it first, and I’m also sorry that I bragged about getting off.

- I’m sorry for dropping the basket of french fries for table 41 when we were busy, causing you to lose 10 percent off your tip.

- I’m sorry (to the bartenders) for ringing in all those stupid drinks that I know none of you want to make because they require five different types of alcohol and chocolate syrup, or putting in 15 shots, which all happen to be different. Oh, and they have to be chilled.

- I’m sorry for forgetting to take the trash out after I was done, leaving it for you to drag to the dumpster at 1:55 a.m. in the freezing cold and in pitch darkness.

- I’m sorry (to the cooks) for typing a million modifications for you, just to take the meal to the table and have a customer say “I didn’t order that.”

- I’m sorry (to the hostess) when I get really busy and yell at you for seating in my section again, even though it was my turn.

- I’m sorry (to the bartenders) for my resting b***** face when I’m waiting for my drinks at the bar because you’re taking a couple extra seconds to make my drink.

- I’m sorry for coming in on my day off and drinking right in front of you, even though I wouldn’t be working anyway.

- I’m sorry for begging you to switch sections with me because I have something to do that night, and then giving you the cold shoulder all night because you said no.

- I'm also sorry for not taking your shift when you had something important to do, just because I didn't feel like working.

- I’m sorry for accidentally stealing that table from you when it was your turn.

- I’m sorry that we all have to roll massive amounts of silverware.

- I’m sorry (to the food runners) for telling you five different things about my order that I forgot to ring in and then getting mad when you forgot to bring it to my table.

- I’m sorry we’re all crazy and have to deal with each other, but I’m not sorry that we’re stuck with each other.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
