20F here looking for a non-corporate owned preferably family owned/local restaurant that is hiring servers right now with decent pay in GR area! My idea of an honest job interview starts something like this: Are you or your managers abusive jerks?

I love restaurant work, but I will not work for another abusive, manipulative owner or manager. I've seen my share of screaming, disrespectful, and even delusional bosses. A few were inappropriate with the younger girls or failed to protect them from customers who hit on them. I'm working for a corporation that treats you as replaceable, no matter how well you do your job. So, independently or family-owned would be nice!

Hello, 20F here and have been consistently practicing to try and get my license for the past 2 months. I've only really practiced parallel a handful of times and guess what- I didn't even get past the parking portion before I miscalculated my angle during the parallel park and hit a cone. It cost too many points readjusting and the problem is, i fixed it quickly and was able to prove i could parallel park as I had all the other steps down. I immediately bawled my eyes out after failing which I did not expect to have that sort of reaction. I guess I've never "failed" any test before and had such high hopes for myself that I've felt depressed all of yesterday and today rotting in bed and crying. My second test is scheduled in 10 days from now and I have crippling anxiety about doing something dumb on that test too and draining another $80 out of my pocket.

Any tips would be much appreciated, I feel so defeated!

I know GR's nightlife isn't great from what I've heard but are there any places that specialize in 70s/80s music? I yearn to experience the classic disco or classic rock nightlife experience! Even 70s themed parties, anything!!
