~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
