For my fellow members within the wonderful world of hospitality, we all know the ups and downs of working in the restaurant scene. I found that it is both comical and relieving to recollect on these days of working with the worst customers and the best employees, and to put our emotions to the greatest diva's of all!

How it feels walking into work:

The dreaded times of pulling open the front door and walking into the place that you spend most of your life at can be a blessing and a curse. Overall, you gotta be there anyways so might as well make the best of it.

When work tries to call you in on your day off:

Your phone begins to vibrate — you look and it's your store calling you. What should you do?! Answer?! You pick up the phone and have to figure out some crazy excuse on why you can't come in or what your plans are for the day that beat what work needs you to do.

That fake laugh you make at a joke that all customers tell:

We all know that one joke when the guest looks at their empty plate and says something snarky like, "Oh, can you tell I didn't like it?" Which then causes us to feel rage on the inside but we have to awkwardly laugh on the outside.

When you're in the back eating the "mess-up" order:

Don't lie to yourself, we have all "accidentally" rang in the wrong order when we just so happened to be mentioning how starving we are.

When the manager disagrees with a customer and takes your side:

Say whaaat? It rarely happens, but sometimes the manager that normally says, "The customer is always right," actually agrees with you.


That feeling when you break $100 in tips:

Makin' it rain, Hunty! But then you unfortunately realize you have to still do tipshare...

"May I speak to a manager?":

The dreaded question that we try our hardest to avoid.

When another server tries to take your table:

Oh honey, please — we all know what the sections are and we all know you didn't "mistakenly" take my tables order.

How you walk out when you get cut first:

As much as we love our jobs, we also love getting to leave our jobs. This is the only time it feels nice to be the first to go home.

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.
