The Benefits Of Working In Retail

1. Clothes 24/7/365.

Being surrounded by clothes every single day is honestly one of the best feelings. I get to work in a store where I enjoy every moment I am there. Working in a clothing store and seeing all the new clothes that come in is such a plus for me because I live for clothes and fashion. At my job, Sophie and Trey, we put out new clothing every day, providing our customers with a variety of options.

I'm the kind of girl to dress up when there isn’t a reason to be dressed up, but because I love to stand out and be myself! For me, I am truly dressing to make myself happy, not to impress anyone. The items in all four of our stores allow people to dress up, dress down and dress like their true selves.

2. Working with happy people.

My fellow employees at Sophie and Trey are more than just my coworkers, but they have become my friends and even family. I love working with a group of girls who respect each other so much and appreciate all we do for one another. Working at this store for over two years has taught me so much and changed my perspective on retail as a whole. We always jump to help each other whenever needed. Our stores can get pretty busy and I love how if an employee is shopping, they will just jump in to help us with whatever is going on.

3. The discount!

We all know that the best pro to working in retail is that little discount you get. One of the benefits to working with clothes on the daily is getting to take some home at the end of the day! My whole wardrobe is from Sophie and Trey, so when I got the job my junior year, it only made my life better!

4. Styling and socializing with amazing customers.

I can truly say that I am blessed with the best customers. I hear people complain to me about their jobs and having to deal with rude customers, but I can say that the customers that come into our boutique are truly kind people. Customers come in with one purpose and that is to find an outfit to make their special event a great time with our clothes on. We truly thrive on customer service at Sophie and Trey and I couldn’t be prouder to be an employee. We love to get our customers involved by doing our Wear, Share, and Win contest on Instagram!

Coming into work and styling customers is one of the most fun and rewarding things. I can vividly remember a freshman coming in looking for a homecoming dress; she didn’t even know if she wanted to go and I worked with her for almost two hours and we found her that perfect dress. The moment she said “Thank you, I feel like a princess,” just made me the happiest to know that I was able to help her feel that way.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
