Every Retail Workers Christmas List

Oh, the joys of the holidays. People are happy, excited, and ready for the most wonderful time of the year. People enjoy the holiday's and obtain no stress, at all. What a magical world to live i-, just kidding. This is 2016, and we're in America. Christmas, while is is still a wonderful and magical time for many, can unfortunately create anxiety, stress, and most of all, rudeness out of the nicest people. Guess who get's to spend their holidays with these kinds of people? Retail workers! Here are some of the things you can find on any retail worker's list this holiday season.

1. Not to be screamed at by a stranger 10x a shift. Am I asking too much?

2. To enjoy the one (maybe) holiday I get off of work.

3. Wishing I could tell angry customers to calm down because they'll be put on the naughty list.

4. To never have another return, ever. Nope, sorry, we discontinued returning things.

5. To never have anything physically thrown at my face because it wasn't the price a customer was hoping for. Sure, it's my fault. Happy Holidays!

6. To ban anyone from entering the store starting 10 minutes until closing.

7. To never get screamed at because my store charges for gift boxes. "You charge? WOOOOOOOW" "Yes, sorry."

8. Never be asked questions as I am running to my beloved break.

9. To never have anyone on the team call out sick, especially on Christmas Eve.

10. To have time to actually shop for my family's presents.

11. To be able to yell at people when they touch you're freshly folded tables/walls. "Back away from the denim wall, just back away."

12. Never having to do a price check again, now that would be a Christmas miracle.

13. To never get yelled at again because we didn't have what a customer was searching for.

14. To have all pleasant, happy, and joyful customers otherwise, they are not allowed to shop.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
