~Goodbye, Cold Stone~

My-oh-my has it been a fun run. Next week marks my last week at Cold Stone Creamery, and although I do plan on returning next summer (if they offer me a position there), I feel like now is the official goodbye. I have had this job since I was a senior in high school, and now that I am a sophomore in college, it's time for me to mainly focus on bigger places for a job; maybe even unpaid internships for experience in the professional work field. Working here has definitely showed me the importance of diligence, authority, and the importance of understanding, as well as communicating with a variety of people.

I'm going to miss getting paid to eat ice cream, and I'm going to miss being able to get a bunch of free ice cream. Haha, my freezer would normally be jammed up with little red Cold Stone cups stacked one on top of the other.
I have met so many amazing people here, and I have made friendships that I hope will last a very long time.

And as much as I hate to admit it (well, more embarrassed to admit it), yes, I did have the wonderful opportunity to meet and date a wonderful guy who worked there.

And yes, I always said that I will never date my co-worker, buuut I am glad that I took this chance.
I don't regret it, and I never will.

I met some wonderful people there that also taught me a lot about religion; mostly more of the religion that I personally hold.

I am also so proud of the mission middle college students who I got to work with. I am so grateful for the opportunity to share shifts with them and watch them grow in the same place that I did.

There is so much more that I could write about, but that would take a very long time. For now, I am going to end this blog post with a smile.

Goodbyes do suck, but they will never take away the joy and growth that took place in the past.

Until next time,
Reyna Michelle

Update Post

Whats one of the hardest things about being an internet girl?
Commitment and time management.

I just have to say: I have it pretty easy right now. There is just no excuse for me to be lacking in posts, and dragging my mind with these profound thoughts while ignoring to put them down on this spot. The reason why I have it so easy is because it is summer. No homework, no classes; just work. Just work that allows me to have free time as soon as I clock out and end the shift. I know that when I return to college, blogging is going to be so much more difficult; especially since I want it to be a bigger part of my life in the future.

But here's the thing: Yes, I have divided up my blog page to be dedicated towards different topics; one being psychology. But quite frankly, having a psychology blog is a lot harder than I thought it would be. And no, I wasn't downplaying the challenge at all; I understood the amount of effort that would need to be put into it. But having a psychology blog is insanely time consuming. Along with it comes research, facts, sources, and articles that all need to be read and processed while I spit it out in my own Reyna-style of writing. Along with all of that comes ideas. What I want to research, as well as how much I'm going to elaborate on it.

Sigh. But, I will find my way to approaching a topic that I will be able to have fun with elaborating on. And, I am still planning to dedicate my hobby of blogging further more.

Until next time,

Rey
