5 Thoughts Retail Workers Have In October

pexels.com

It's the middle of October, and if you're like me and you are in the retail industry, here's 5 thoughts that we may all have in common this time of the year...

1. How in the world could it already be OCTOBER?

I know, I know. It feels like it was just Easter time, or just last October. How could it be?

2. Are those REALLY Christmas Decorations?

Didn't we just put those things away?

3. Why don't I recognize any of these people in the morning meeting?

No lie, around this time of the year, there's so many new seasonal hires, sometimes I wonder if I'm at the right store.

4. NOVEMBER IS NEXT MONTH.

You're joking, right?

5. BLACK FRIDAY

How could this be happening. I am NOT ready for this.

The busiest times of the year for us retail workers are upon us, but we can do this!

Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Advice To Live By As Told By Bob's Burgers

The Belchers hold the key to a better life.

Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

University of Vermont

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
