With the holidays right around the corner, here are some of my personal thoughts that I've had while working retail during the holiday full of deals and savings.

1. "It's beginning to look a lot like-OH MY GOD PUT IT DOWN ARE YOU SERIOUS I JUST FOLDED THAT"

2. "I am absolutely exhausted"

3. "This mall needs more parking spaces, NOT ANOTHER STORE THANK YOU."

4. "Whoever brought lasagna in the break room is my absolute hero."

5. "Caffeine. Where is it."

6. "Yes PLEASE throw the clothes all over the floor. I totally didn't spend a half hour folding them and making them look all cute."

7. "Miss, we are all exhausted here. Your attitude towards the only person who can make this checking out process quicker is not in your best interest."

8. "STOP SINGING PLEASE STOP SINGING."

9. *Resists urge to put an "Out of Order" sign on every single dressing room.*

10. *Totally puts an "Out of Order" sign on every single dressing room.*

11. "No miss, the 'fifty percent off your entire purchase' coupon does not work with other Black Friday deals."

12. "No I will not call my manager to the front. She's probably crying in the back, which is what I will be doing soon if you don't leave the store."

13. "I totally just saw you throw your trash on the ground."

14. "DO NOT TOUCH THE STORE DECORATIONS."

15. "Did I seriously just watch a grown woman steal a shirt out of a toddlers hands."

16. "Oh awesome, now we have a crying baby in the store."

17. "Same, little dude, same."

18. "When is my break. Seriously, when is my break."

19. "Mister, I don't have enough coffee in my system to deal with your whining nine year old."

20. "WHY IS YOUR NINE YEAR OLD AT THE MALL AT SIX AM."

21. "MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHY AM I AT THE MALL AT SIX AM."

22. "Oh yeah, I get a paycheck."

23. "No miss, I do not get paid extra for working on Black Friday. I just get to hate myself a little more than I already do."

24. "NO THE DRESSING ROOMS ARE NOT WORKING RIGHT NOW. NO I WILL NOT GET YOU ONE."

25. "LOL JK my boss is right there, this way please."

26. "This headset is beeping a lot."

27. "This headset is dead."

28. "It's kinda nice not hearing everyone."

29. "But if I go and change it out... I can eat the food in the backroom."

30. *Moves at ultrasonic speed towards the break room.*

31. "Okay much better, I only needed a little bit of coff-OH MY GOD THE LINE IS OUT THE DOOR."

32. "Our store isn't even having a good deal WHY IS THIS HAPPENING."

33. "THESE ARE THE SAME DISCOUNTS THAT WE HAD DURING BACK TO SCHOOL."

34. "Wait what time is it. Can I leave? OH MY GOD I CAN LEAVE."

35. "Adios everyone, I'm going to go try to get out of the parking lot for the next century."

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.
