In This Article:

This summer is my first time working a 9-5 job; therefore, it's my first time having an actual lunch break. Nine times out of ten, if I'm going to eat out for lunch, I want Chick-Fil-A. Their customer service is unmatched by any other chain restaurant, and I have always loved their food - especially their chocolate milkshakes.

Turns out, I'm not the only person who loves Chick-Fil-A and wants to get it on their lunch break. Unfortunately, it seems like every working human being with a lunch break wants Chick-Fil-A too. Here are some of my thoughts as I face the craziness that is rush hour at Chick-Fil-A:

1. "Mmhm...Chick-Fil-A would be good for lunch today."

I mean what doesn't sound good about fried chicken nuggets, waffle fries, and an ice cold lemonade?

2. *Sees that its 11:30* "I should probably leave now before the lunch hour rush."

If it's 11:30 now and it takes me 15 minutes to get there, then I should beat the lunch hour rush at 12, right?

3. "I hope the line isn't too long. I'm super hungry."

Nobody has time to wait in a long line during their 30 minute lunch break!

4. "OMG THE LINE IS WRAPPED AROUND THE BUILDING TWICE."

It seems like no matter what time of day Chick-Fil-A is always crowded.

5. "Well, maybe the line will move quickly."

I have to give credit where credit is due: Chick-Fil-A does have extraordinary customer service.

6. "Should I get a chocolate milkshake?"

Whenever I wait in line too long, I tend to contemplate my order over and over again. Thus, I end up with a milkshake in my cup holder.

7. *finally places order* "Ugh, I forgot to ask for sauce. I'll just ask when I get to the window."

Chick-Fil-A sauce, Polynesian, Ranch - I love them all.

8. *gets food* "This smells SO good...I am starving."

By the time you've gone through the entire Chick-Fil-A drive-thru, odds are your hunger has turned into starvation.

9. *pulls out of drive-thru* "CRAP. I forgot to ask for sauce and I don't have a straw."

This leads me to think, "Should I go through the trouble of going inside?"

10. "Yes, I'll just park and go inside."

Parking and going inside a restaurant sounds simple enough, right? No. Not Chick-Fil-A. Not Chick-Fil-A during lunch on a workday. Your precious Chick-Fil-A sauce is now costing you 10 minutes of time - not to mention some of your sanity.

11. *brings sauce back to car* "Why would you ever go to Chick-Fil-A during lunch hour rush if you aren't working?"

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that you can't go to Chick-Fil-A for lunch if you don't work during the week. I'm just asking why would you choose to go during lunch hour rush? Lunch at 11:00 AM doesn't sound so bad to me.

12. *eats one nugget* "So worth it."

Let's be real - Chick-Fil-A is always worth the wait.

Chick-Fil-A is hard to pass up; even if that means spending your lunch break waiting in a ridiculously long line during your lunch break instead of actually eating. We can just eat and work at the same time, right?

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
