First Post

I originally started this blog about a year ago in hopes that I would have time to flesh it out. This is sort of my re-launch, seeing as how I’ve neglected this site for so long. I’m starting this blog because the retail world, as I’m sure most retail workers would agree, is diverse and unique. And with such a huge community of people who work in the industry, I think it deserves a little attention.

A little background for how I got here…

I worked in retail throughout high school and college, and a little bit after college. The experiences I had working in retail (which I will most likely share in later posts) have sort of prompted me to start writing about it. I got my degree in General Business, which got me generally nowhere at first. But a degree is really only what you make of it. I wouldn’t say my passion lies in ‘general business studies.’ I’m one of those people that changed my major every semester until I had to pick something and stick with it just so I could graduate on time. With that said, I’ve decided to make my passion (writing) a priority in my life, and so that is another reason this blog exists. I’m looking forward to reading all of your comments and having open discussions!
