Going to work is probably the least favorite part of everyone's day, unless you get to do something cool, such as save lives, like a surgeon. If that's the case, you lead an amazing life that most people only dream of. But still, anyone that has a job of some sort has coworkers. Coworkers are the people that help you get through the day without tearing your hair out, or maybe they are the people that cause the hair tearing. Fortunately for me, my coworkers are amazing and are some of my closest friends.

Here are 20 things that best coworker friends can relate to!

1. The unlikely friends.

Had you and your coworker not gotten employed at the same job, you probably wouldn't have become friends. You would have kept living your life without even realizing how awesome your coworker best friend is.

2. You have your own secret work lingo.

No one ever knows what you are talking about when you aren't at work because you are using terms only you and your coworker know from work. So, most of the words would be understood, but it's still fun to pretend!

3. You know the struggle of working for the public.

If you work for the public, such as a grocery store, you know you can't do anything without customers seeing you. So, when you and you coworker are just trying to make the shift enjoyable, the customers see it as rude and irresponsible.

4. You have too much fun while working together.

Whether it's mop fights or just laughing about something the last time you worked together, you are always having fun. Laughing is great medicine, especially at work!

5. You're always checking the schedules.

You must know the days you will be blessed enough to work together. Even if it is only for 30 minutes.

6. You have so many inside jokes!

They are endless. Some may be work related, but most are about other things you have been through together.

7. Judging each other when you make a mistake.

If you make a mistake at work in front of anyone, your best friend will find out. It is inevitable. And once they find out, they will never let you live it down.

8. The fear of being separated

It is the worst feeling ever, knowing your best friend is just a little distance from you but not being able to work together. Who will laugh at your jokes, even If they are not funny? Who will listen to your boy troubles?

9. You go on lunch dates at work.

Best time of the day with the best friend at work! It's a time when you can finally catch upon the topics that couldn't be discussed anywhere else but the break room!

10. Other employees resent working with you.

They know that you two will just end up laughing the whole time. And they probably won't know why!

11. You split food that you find.

Going "halfsies" is a must. You don't want to have to pay full price or make the other feel left out.

12. The only time you are okay with not working together is when one of you is doing something nasty.

Which is rare! It is when one of you has been assigned an unwanted task. For example, cleaning the restrooms... You are on your own!

13. The nicknames/jokes you have about all your other coworkers

Okay, so this is not just between the two of you, but every employee. You may have extended the jokes further than others know!

14. You automatically know how their day is going.

You can tell just by how they greet you when you arrive at work. If they are happy, it is a chipper "hello," but if it is a bad day, they barely acknowledge your existence. And you know that it is a bad day for the entire workplace when their look could kill!

15. Their day off is the worst day for you.

Who will socialize with you? Lunch will be lonely. Guess you will have to pay full price for your snacks/food. You will never be the same.

Until they come to work tomorrow.

16. You despise the same people.

You can always agree on who to avoid, who not to talk to, and who to try to get along with.

17. You automatically know what the other is thinking.

It just comes with the job and friendship. Most likely you were thinking the same thing! That what true friends are for!

18. Everyone knows not to gossip about you two.

Ever. Or they will have to deal with the wrath of you two.

19. Giving each other great work advice

When there is a question about work that is so obvious it is embarrassing to ask, you know your girl has your back!

20. The fear of the future.

Future means moving forward. It means new jobs and life changes. You may never work together again. But, you know you have a true friend forever in your coworker best friend!

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.

RBF

I'll admit it, I have a condition called RBF or, if you will, Resting Bitch Face.

Anna Kendrick, poor Kristen Stewart, the Queen of England are all life-long sufferers of RBF. Victoria Beckham even made a career out of it! And though it's usually used to describe women, some men are also afflicted. Kanye West is the best example of this.
