Well, today was the day. My final shift after a four year long career at PacSun! I started off as a mere sales associate in October of 2010, and ended as a full time assistant manager four years later. PacSun was my first job, and I’m so thankful that I had the opportunity to stay there as long as I did. I’ve made life long friends through the company, from my coworkers, to customers, to fellow employees in the mall. As sad as it was to finally leave, it was also a happy thing too. I’m finally going to go to college, and hopefully never have to work retail again. 😉 I’m extremely excited to see what my future holds outside of the company. I honestly feel like if I were to stay there any longer, college would be permanently put on the back burner. I am so proud of myself for being proactive in building a new future outside of my job. When you work at a place for so long, you almost feel stuck there. I was beginning to feel that way, and believe me, it wasn’t a good feeling at all. It felt amazing to take my future into my own hands, and decide what happens next. I’m so thrilled to start college at Tri-C in October, and am so ready to begin a new adventure! I’m forever grateful for everything that PacSun has done for me. From the time I was sixteen until now, I’ve had nothing but smiles and positive experiences. I don’t think that many people can say that about their jobs, so I feel very privileged to be able to say that about mine. In my featured image you can see a note that I wrote on one of our walls in the backroom. All of the employees who have left our PacSun family have wrote on that wall, and it was such a surreal experience to leave my mark on the Wall of Fame. Here’s my final PacFUN mirror pic selfie! It only felt right to take one 😉

Thanks for the amazing memories, Pac. Lil’ Red is off to bigger and better things:) Have a wonderful Thursday night guys! Thanks for reading! -Sarah
