8 Reasons Work friends, Are The Best Friends

Work. Oh the word most of us try to avoid. In my short time here on this Earth I have held my fair share of jobs. Serving, receptionist work, sale, and lastly banking. Work isn't always the finest place to be. Coming from someone who literally answers phone calls all day at a call center, I can tell you, some days are hard. But one thing always remains the same, and seems to be the sanity to my life. As I'm sure almost everyone can relate.

1. They Get It.

They know exactly what you deal with on a daily basis. They understand the frustrations that come with any job. They see how crazy your schedule can be and understand that when you need a break, i's time for Tini Tuesday.

2. Acceptance.

They accept you, but only because you forced them to sit at the desk next to you, so they have to learn how to cope.

3. The Games.

Who would have known that playing ping pong at work could be an actual thing? The competitions and the outrageous amount of fun we find around the office is enough to keep us from actually going crazy.

4. They Care.

No matter what happens, they really do care. Whether it's you realizing that this isn't the place for you, or that you're them for another department, even a promotion. They want you to succceed.

5. The Group Chats.

THE SNAP CHATS. They become your biggest cheerleaders in whatever is going on in your life. Have a formal to attend? They're the first to compliment your dress. Bought a car? They're the first to congratulate you on your new purchase.

6. They Make Work Not So Bad.

I have honestly never love going into work as much as I do now. These people become family. A family that is actually fun. (; These people motivate me more than my paycheck...

7. Being Real.

They have to be your coworker. But they choose to be your friend. And let me tell you, that's pretty huge!

8. Coworkers Or ....

Family. They aren't just coworkers. They are everything in between the good, the bad, the ugly, and the beautiful.


I would like to thank my trainers, our mentors, our coaches, and most importantly the class of 02/06/2017 for being exactly who they are, and accepting me into their new family. I love you all! Now I'm going to hit meeting and take a nap.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

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.

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.
