I Work At H&M And I Love It

We've all heard the horror stories that come along with working a shift in retail. And I can't lie, I've had my fair share of them, too. Who hasn't?! But that doesn't stop me from absolutely loving my job working at H&M.

1. I have to make ends meet

Working at H&M while being in college full-time is difficult, but luckily I've been able to manage my studies and my work life accordingly. Learning to keep a healthy work-school balance is all a part of the cycle of life and it's teaching me to multitask, persevere and smile through the tough times.

2. The discounts

Let me tell you, the discounts are endless. You get your staff discount which is 25%. You can also donate your old clothes (not name brand and any condition) for a *stackable* 15% AND get a (new) UniDays student discount which you can combine for UNBELIEVABLE savings on already great pieces for your wardrobe!

3. It's flexible with my schedule

Going to school full-time and every day of the week is a task. So being able to have the availability I have with H&M gives me a chance to focus on school during the week and only have to work short shifts and only on select days. It's a win-win. Shout out to my wonderful store managers! :)

4. It's a great way to develop a "style"

When I first started at H&M, my style consisted of leggings and hoodies. Now that I've gotten to see first-hand new styles and how you can pair different items together and look fabulous. I've learned a LOT and I'm absolutely buying it all.

5. It's ever-evolving and changing

H&M has definitely been going through it these past couple months, so being able to push through and still be a popular brand in the fashion industry and able to make an impact on the recycling epidemic

6. It challenges me to work with people of all backgrounds

I've met people from every walk of life while working at my H&M store. Whether it's my co-workers or the customers, I'm able to empathize with strangers and friends alike. It has given me an even deeper perspective of the people I know and the people I will meet down the road.

7. Because I love it

Don't get me wrong, every retail job has it's negatives; but working at H&M definitely has it's perks. Meeting new people, the discounts, the wellness hours, the pay, vacation time. This job has given me a leadership role within the store and I guess in life. I'm currently a Conscious captain of my store meaning I can openly preach to consumers the emphasis of re-wear, re-use and recycle all the while taking the plastics, glass and paper products used in store and return them into recycling centers to provide a more sustainable approach in life.

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.
