Be Nice To Your Waiter

I don't like my food covered in saliva, do you?

Be Nice To Your Waiter

If you never want me to speak to you again, be rude to a waiter.

To be honest here, my rage is that unjustified. Yes, I quake in fear when this occurs, but so do a ton of people. Just imagine, you're working at a breakfast place. A couple walks in, without waiting for a table they take a seat. You're already annoyed, don't they know there's a system? You jog on over with the biggest, most fake smile on your face. You go through the pleasantries and ask the simple yes or no question of whether they would like a drink. They stare at each other and slowly turn to look at you, a mixture of disappointment and disgust in their eyes. With a snarl of their lip, they spit out the word no. From people passing by, it would seem that you had asked them to go eat the trash with them. You're fake smile grows as thoughts of murder and how you can spit in their food dance through your head.

This is what I'm talking about. A simple solution would be to politely say no. Being friendly never hurt anybody and it's free! Everyone, please don't take rude people personally. Don't let them ruin your day. Rude people, a smile never hurt anybody! Because let's be honest, food that has been spat in DOES NOT taste good.

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.
