Sometimes friends become family

Sometimes friends become family

Endless inside jokes, teamwork, being frustrated because we can't seem to keep enough straws or coasters, Out of Context Frank, and JB being a part of the Nine Trey Bloods. These are just a few things that have created the inseparable bond among my coworkers and I. This article is dedicated to our chosen family.

Although some have quit, the real ones still come back around when we all get together. We're here for each other through thick and thin. We can take the most boring dull situation and turn it into a party. In fact, anytime we all gather, no matter if we're bowling, going to an actual party, or just sitting around the table at Mellow Mushroom, if you've got more than three of us there, it's a takeover.

My favorite thing about these guys, is the way we all support each other. From school plays to birthdays, we always show up. You never have to question your worth. You matter, and if you don't believe it, we'll show you love until you do, and then we'll show you some more.


Haley Mortensen

So thankful for you guys.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
