Shoe shopping for many people is an exciting experience. But the worker on the other side of things may not feel the same way. Here are some things people who sell shoes often experience at work.

1. Nasty Looking Feet

Thank you to all the people who trim there nails and don't have black stuff coming out of their nails.

2. When You Go to the Stockroom to "look."

You know very well that there are no more size eights in that black sandal but you go back to "look" so the customer shuts up.

3. When You See Someone Carrying More Than 5 Shoes.


That's so many shoes, I hope you buy something.

4. When People Mess Up the Display.


If you touch it, at least put it back where you got it from.

5. People Who Insist That They Are a Certain Size.

Every shoe runs differently. Plus, your heel isn't even on the shoe. Going a size up won't kill you.

6. When the Customer Takes Off Their Shoes and Their Feet Smell.

I'm trying my hardest not to inhale any of this awful smell.

7. People Who Complain About the Prices.

I'm literally just an employee. I don't make the prices. Why are you yelling at me that our shoes are expensive? I can't help you. If you want cheap shoes go to Payless.

8. When Customers Expect Us To Know the Price of Every Shoe.

I haven't memorized every shoe price because we have like 80 different pairs, plus there are markdowns and sales every week.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
