$9-12 An Hour Isn't Worth Your Peace Of Mind

For anyone saying that a minimum wage job is stressing them out.

Everyone knows that work can cause major stress in your life. However, if you are an entry-level associate or employee, then you honestly do not need to let it cause you so much stress.

Put in your notice and find another job! You should not be crying or screaming due to an entry-level job that probably won't make or break you. The least that this job or society should expect of you is that you put in your two weeks notice. The job will replace you with no problem, so you should feel comfortable leaving them with no problem.

If work is causing you stress and you need that job specifically, then HR really can be your friend. You can call them and ask them what they can do for you. Possibly correct the managers or other associates' behaviors or even give you a transfer if that would be in your best interest. Never just put up with something that shouldn't be an issue for you in the first place.

Money and jobs are a necessity for most people in the world, which is why finding one can seem very stressful. I would recommend going into wherever you apply and introducing yourself to the manager.

DO NOT CALL THE STORE AND ASK TO TALK TO A HIRING MANAGER!

As a previous manager of an establishment, I will say that is the second most annoying thing you can do. The first most annoying thing is when people had their parents call for them. You are literally ruining your chances if you call about your application.

Employers want someone that is going to go out of their way to introduce themselves and possibly bring a resume. You have already made yourself the better candidate by doing this, and they will take a stronger interest in your application than that of someone who didn't introduce themselves.

Do not let a shitty job get in the way of your happiness.

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.
