5 Ways Working Retail Can Make You Hate the Holidays
1. You hear the same songs over and over. Every retail store has a certain playlist that plays on repeat 24/7. But as soon as Halloween is over, that playlist turns into a Christmas playlist and you either hear songs by Mariah Carey or some guys from the 1950s. At some point you find yourself singing the songs even though you don't want to. Other times you're just doing your job with a soulless stare and a nosebleed happens. The worst part about the holiday playlist is that it plays for November AND December. Then you start to hear it in your dreams.... "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" distantly echoing in your sleep... you can't escape it.

The Struggles of Being a K-Pop Fan
I love K-pop. K-pop is life. I started listening to K-pop back in 2010/2011 when I stumbled upon a Girls' Generation video titled “The Boys.” It was the English version, so I thought they were an up-and-coming girl group here in the US. Then I found out there was a Korean version of the song. That’s when I discovered they were a Korean girl group, one of the most popular girl groups in South Korea. They’re so popular, they were given the title of “Nation’s Girl Group.” I began discovering more and more groups until K-pop became the only genre of music that I listened to. I watch every music video for the group I like, I routinely watch their performances when they make a comeback, I try to watch whatever variety show they’re guest starring on and I follow a lot of them on social media.

5 Things I Learned from Using Poshmark
For those who don't know what Poshmark is, it is an online marketplace where people can buy AND sell clothes. Many use it as a boutique or as a wholesaler, others use it to sell clothes that they haven't worn in years or clothes they've bought that don't fit. I downloaded the app about a year ago and quickly deleted it because I didn't understand it. I downloaded it again in July and this time I decided to learn the ropes so I can sell my clothes. I joined groups on Facebook to get extra help and this is what I learned…

My IUD and Me
For as long as I could remember, everyone has told me that the IUD was horrible and will ruin your body. They said it was dangerous, it wasn't right to have a foreign object inside your uterus like that for so long. And for a while, I believed them. Especially with all the late-night commercials you see about them causing serious issues for women. So I decided to go on the pill once I started having sex. Honestly, there were so many times where I forgot to take it, I freaked out when my period was late and thought, “Yep, I'm going to get pregnant for sure this time.” They turned out to be false alarms every time.

7 Things I Learned While Working in RetailTop Story - September 2018
1. Not every customer is rude. These are the people who are just the sweetest angels. Everyone knows working in retail can take a toll on most people. The customers who take the time to compliment you on your customer service skills and say they'll write nice things about you in the survey are the best customers.
