How I did it: I just put in my two weeks notice, and two weeks later, here I am--unemployed. Technically pretty easy peasy. The hard part was letting myself quit something, I think. I haven't kept a steady job for more than a year--but then again, I've been a student that whole time, so I guess I've been a steady student worker for 17+ years. 

Lessons & tips: This was not a bad job, however, I really had a need to focus on my schoolwork so I had to free up my time somehow.

Things I will miss: explaining drinks/Starbucks lingo to people, the nice partners at my store, making drinks, free coffee

Things I will not miss: grabbing scalding hot metal out of the dishwasher, lugging milk jugs around, deck scrubbing, sticky chai/mocha/syrups getting all over and in my hair :(
