$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.

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.
