12 Reasons Work BFFs are the Bees Knees


Let's face it, going to work sucks. You have to wake up, look slightly human, and then deal with people for the vast majority of your day. The only thing that makes going to work tolerable is walking in and seeing that one person that just makes you smile. Yep, you got it, your work bff. Here are a few reasons why this person is more important than most and why you should never let them go

They are the first one to say good morning to you...

Even though it may end with "hoe" or "skank", you know they truly mean it.

...but they understand not to talk to you until AFTER you have consumed at least one cup of coffee.

Honestly though, why do people even talk in the morning? Just stop.

They help the day go by faster...

Or at least they understand how slow time truly does go during the work day.

...and they applaud you for your simple successes.

Even if that means all you did was put on pants.

They give you the "look"....

You know, sometimes people just shouldn't tell stories.

...and they understand your financial struggles because they also have them.

They know what it's like to be living off of spaghettios and mac and cheese.

They tend to say what you are thinking and if they don't say it, they are also thinking it....

Your boss may be on to you two, but it's all good.

..and you frequently say things to each other that other people shouldn't hear because it will more than likely offend them.

Do I mean it when I say I will stab you in the neck? No, but I'm still going to say it anyway.

You have way too many inside jokes for comfort....

Aaaaaand it probably pisses off your coworkers.

..and that keeps you from walking off the job on a daily basis.

And they probably help you keep your job by keeping you from murdering someone, too.

Days that they aren't there don't seem right...

The day goes by very slow and you don't have anyone to talk to and really it's just terrible.

..and at the end of the day, you don't know how you would survive without them.

But why would you even want to anyway?

Cherish those work bffs, everyone. They are truly hard to find.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
