Sleep deprived mom of a five year old. Hopeless romantic. Will eat any food placed in front of me. Knower of useless facts. If there's a dog, I'm probably petting it.

Does Organic Translate to Healthy?
Have you ever wondered why shredded cheese doesn’t stick to each other in the bag? Or thought about why beef jerky is dried meat, but has a smoky flavor? The food that we are serving and buying may look and taste good, but in reality may not be as healthy as we, the consumers may be thinking it to be. Buyers of many products do not even know what they are necessarily consuming. Perhaps some people are aware, whereas on the other hand some may not even care that much to either know or do anything about it.

Is College Right for Everyone?
Breathing in deeply, I flip the light on my register, a signal for customers that my register is now open. So begins the next six hours of cashing people out and listening to everyone’s life stories. Working at a grocery store gives you the competence to interact with a variety of different people. Some may decide you’re their new best friend. Some may believe they have to tell you what they did last night at Jenny’s party, or how their cat Maisy had ingested Antifreeze the night before and was now lethargic, unable to move from the couch. (Both of which are true). Each day, walking in you never exactly know what to expect. Each day I am meeting people of all different educational backgrounds. What is the same, is that people everywhere all share the common need for food and at least have a basic education. As I move the "closed" sign off of my register belt, I tighten my ponytail, douse my hands in hand sanitizer, put a smile on my face, and greet the first customer of my shift.
