Netflix's 'Aggretsuko' Exaggerates The Dark Side Of Accounting Office Work

In her perspective, working in the accounting office is exhausting and tormenting.

During Thanksgiving break, I watched a Netflix anime called "Aggretsuko." It is about a red panda named Retsuko who works in an accounting office every day. My first thought was that she is a very cute hardworking red panda that likes her job. There is more to this cute red panda and her job.

Every night, she goes to karaoke to relax from work. She walks to the karaoke room peacefully and gently. Once she comes in, she chooses a song she wants to sing and holds the microphone to her mouth. After that, I heard loud music that catches my attention and all of a sudden, the cute cat turned into a ferocious, monstrous cat that sings so loud! Her voice made me jump off my seat! What I saw on the television was not just true karaoke, but also the red panda's true fury! At daytime, she is Retsuko. At nighttime, she is Aggretsuko. The first five letters in Aggretsuko are the first letters in the word aggressive.

Retsuko does not like her job at the accounting office. In her perspective, working in the accounting office is exhausting and tormenting. The worse part about it is her mean boss, Tonton, a pig who always unleashes his fury at her. Retsuko looks weak as she faces her boss, but in the inside, she is a ferocious cat that wants to pay him back. If only she can find a way to quit her job! Luckily, she also has friends at the company that support and understand her.

After watching the anime, I asked my eldest sister if working in the accounting office is really that bad. She told me it is not that bad like the anime. The anime only exaggerated it for entertainment. I am glad to hear that there will be a season two of this anime next year, so that I can see more of Retsuko's life and fury. This anime is very cute, funny, interesting and suitable for those who dislike their job in the accounting office.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
