Why my coworkers are the absolute best

Work hard, play even harder.

Why my coworkers are the absolute best

So I got a new job a few months ago, and I was very wary of it. I really don't like girls and all of my coworkers besides two are girls. Clearly, I went in sort of nervous but I'm so thankful for this crazy group of people I call coworkers. So I naturally had to write everyone telling them how great they are, right? I asked everyone their favorite thing about our crazy group and here is what everyone said:

We're Honest/Blunt

That is the understatement of the year. Sugarcoating is a myth around here. Anytime some one does something dumb or isn't doing something the way they should everyone tells them, I'm not kidding, literally everyone.

We communicate

This sort of ties into honesty, but it still applies. We always talk about what is going on in our workplace we communicate issues and praise and everything the other people need to know. Its pretty great because communication is super important with what we do.

We all have the same sick sense of humor

We're pretty gross, we talk about gross things. Bowel Movements, gross medical stuff, and yet we still act professional because we're all the same. I pray for the person who tries to join our team that doesn't have the same sense of humor as us.

We hold each other accountable

So there are 5-10 fast food restaurants within our area of work place and about 99% of the time I want to eat there instead of the lunch I brought for myself. Well my coworkers are the first people to tell me that I don't need it, and to remember that I want to eat better. We practically create programs to help each others bad behaviors and habits.

We're honestly way too entertaining

We are hilarious. Every other thing we say is a joke, but we still manage to get our jobs done. I'm pretty sure we could have a sitcom about our work place and ratings would soar because of how hilarious we are.

Lastly, we are a team

We support each other's lives. It's more than just work to us, these people know everything about us. Who we're dating, what our plans are for the weekends, we just talk about everything.

I'm so grateful that the people I work with care about me more than just how I work, they care about who I am as a person and I'm so lucky to have such great coworkers.

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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. 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.
