20 Reasons Why I Love My Work Family
Sarah McKellar

Just because we work together, doesn't mean we have to like each other. In my case though, I got lucky. I somehow chose an average, summer lifeguarding job that led me to meeting some not-so-average people. Not only have these people changed my life, the job I do has made an incredible impact as well. Thank goodness I chose a place that not only makes me feel like family, but loves me like family too. There are definitely days when we want to drown each other, but in the end we are one big, happy, dysfunctional family.

1. They always have your back.

They're always there for the ups and downs, even when you don't need them to be.

2. They push you to be your best.

It might get annoying as hell, but they only want to see you succeed.

3. They're brutally honest.

4. You find your best friends.

If you spend almost every day together and you haven't found your best friends at this point, you're probably doing it wrong.

5. We come together in times of need.


6. We get excited about things no one else would understand.

This is us when we hear thunder and get to close up for the next hour.

7. Sometimes they're funny.


Okay, I guess more than sometimes.

8. We know each other too well.


9. We always know how to turn a bad situation into a good one.

10. They always know how to bring a smile to my face.


11. We learn to love each other.

Flaws and all, we love each other just because we're us.

12. They make the rough days better.

They help me get through even the roughest of days.

13. We accept the weirdness.

It's a lifestyle.

14. They make the best secret keepers.

15. The inside jokes.

There are never too many!

16. They know the struggle is real.

Sharing the same job means sharing the understanding of every struggle we all face.

17. They love you sometimes a little too much.


18. I actually look forward to going to work.


Yes, sometimes I am this happy.

19. Our nights together outside of work are the best.


20. We are FAMILY!

I love you work family!

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
