To My Future Employer, I'm Doing Things My Way

I'm going to do things the old fashioned way.

To My Future Employer, I'm Doing Things My Way

Jobs are tricky. The application process, the interviews and just overall making sure that I am doing the best job that I can.

Currently, I work two jobs and I learn a lot each and every day. Both of these jobs are preparing me for the future in one way or another. But for my future employer, I have a few words for you.

I am going to make sure that I am one of the hardest working employees that you have. I am going to show up early and be there late because if it is something that I am passionate about, I will put my whole heart into it.

I am going to ask questions. You may get annoyed with some of the things that I ask, but I am only trying to better myself.

I am going to keep it real. I am not one to sugar coat things when there is a chance of hurting somebody's feelings. In the workforce, we are all adults and need to treat each other like them.

But, I will not kiss your ass to move up. I hate that society basically states that it is okay for somebody not as qualified can get a position over somebody else simply because they kiss up to their boss.

I believe in working hard for what you want and not trying to please the boss every time.

There will be times when trying to move up the totem pole that people are going to get mad. But that is okay. I am going to work hard and move up the way that I feel is appropriate. I am still going to respect those above me, but I will not let them control me.

So to my future employer, I am sorry. I am sorry that I am going to do things my own way. I am sorry that I will not wait on you hand and foot. I am sorry that I am going against the norm.

Well, actually I'm not.

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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

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.
