That now I'm going on my fourth year working retail, there are a few reactions I have pretty much every day. Whether it be a reaction to my managers or a reaction to one of my customers, some of these reactions are priceless.

1. "Can you tell me where the bathroom is?"

Number one, does this look like the information desk? Number two, get out of my store.

2. "Can I speak to your manager?"

She's just going to tell you the same thing I'm telling you. And no, we can't return a bottle half empty.

3. "I'm good, how are you?"


I think this one speaks for itself.

4. *Comes in one minute before closing* "Are you open?"


I get this one all the time. This customer is the one who likes to take their time shopping too. Oh, and also buys nothing.

5. "You can go home early."

Of course, this one is by far my favorite. I'm sure I'm not alone in this!

6. "Can you cover my shift?"

NO NO NO NO!

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
