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.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
