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.

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
