This article is for the people who get a thrill when someone asks them to do something; for the people who know that they don’t have any time, but can’t imagine it any other way; for the true heroes that don’t always wear capes; this one… is for the workaholics. The Beyoncé’s.

1. The bone crushing fear and simultaneous joy you have when someone says, “Can you do me a favor?”

2. Triple-booking yourself feeling your soul get crushed by the amount of work you have to do

3. Getting so happy when someone specifically asks for your help even though you’re kissing your sleep schedule goodbye

4. Spending at least 20 minutes preparing your speech to say no and then ending up saying yes

5. Planning to go to bed at midnight but going to bed at 4 a.m. because you had too much to do

6. Saying goodbye to your social life because you have four committees, two papers, and three clubs to deal with

7. Saying no for the first time in a long time and being happy about it (but actually being sad)

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
