7 Cons Of Working In Restaurants

Working in a restaurant, whether it be fast food or a fancy sit down place, you're going to have an ongoing battle with the pros and cons of being in that environment. Sometimes these cons will have you questioning if this job is even worth it and if you should move on to a normal department store. So before you decide to start working in a restaurant, take a look at these few cons and see if it's the job for you.

1. Those late nights out with friends you used to have will be taken by night shifts

2. Customers can be complete assholes

3. No matter how rude a customer is, you have to hold your composure

4. Your paycheck

Want to make a decently large purchase? That sucks cause if you're a server you better wish for some good tips or that paycheck could be $4.

5. When you get put down to work a double

a.k.a. the worst thing ever

6. The stupid shit you have to say when a customer comes in

7. Those lovely customers that come in 5-10 minutes before closing

No but really, working in a restaurant can be the best thing ever but it can also be the worst thing to ever happen to you. Either way money is money and if you're in desperate need of it, taking on these cons might be your best shot, it sure has been for me.

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
