Open Letter to My Coworkers
@thatnursebert

All of you must understand the hate most people have for some of their coworkers. Maybe not hate, but definitely a strong dislike. You have seen the different Facebook memes about coworkers. Even though I have only been in the work force for four short years, I have finally experienced what it feels like to not hate your coworkers.

Although I have worked at many different places there has always been that one person that I just irritated me. I did not hate them, probably more disliked. I would not choose to work with them if that was how life worked. My first job was pretty close to perfect when it came to coworkers. I loved many of them, but it was a larger staff at some parts, and definitely required some adjustment. Well now about two years later I have come across a job I fell in love with. Not only did I begin to enjoy going to work, but I enjoyed working with anyone. It is a severely shorter staff than what I have previously worked with, but I could not describe the type of family I have found here. We are like the number dysfunctional family, manager, supervisor, and sales associates all. I have not only acquired six new friends, but they also became family members. It is funny and wnjoyable mixed with hard work to get what we need done. Although I know this jobs is most likely long term temporary as I get through college. I am more than estatic that I found this job to get me through these next 4-8 years of hard work and long nights of studying.

So here is an open letter about how much I am thankful for you ladies.

Thank you ladies for becoming my friends and my dysfunctional family. Thank you for covering my shifts, so I could stay up all day and night to finish my essay that I waited until the last minute to finish. Thank you for taking care of one another and most of all thank you for sharing your food (the way to my heart). Thank you for spending up to eight hours talking to me about pointless, serious, and just random things so the day would go by faster. Thank you for being the dream team of all dream teams and just in general being awesome. I have found a home that I love where everyone treats each other as equals, helps each other out, and even helps me with my college math homework! I have enjoyed every second of work (never heard that before).

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
