To my amazing work friends,

To the ones who've come, the ones who've gone, and the ones who've stayed. I miss you all so much. It's hard not seeing all of you during the week while I'm away in college, but seeing everyone on the weekend is what makes coming home that much more special. The bond that we've all created with each other is absolutely amazing, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I have countless things to thank you all for because you're all literally amazing, but here are just a few.

Thank you for breaking me out of my shell.

For those of you who have known me since the beginning, you know that I haven't always been as outgoing as I am currently, and it's all thanks to you. Without you helping me break out of my comfort zone, I wouldn't have the amazing group of friends that I have now. From being the quiet new girl who barely talked to anyone, to being able to call over 75% of the employees my best friends, I feel that you all have really helped me break out of my shell, which has really helped me develop into the person I am today.

Thank you for always being there for me.

You all are always there for me, and I couldn't be more grateful. Whether it be helping me with things for our job, or being there to talk when I'm not feeling like myself, you all are always there to talk and let me know that everything will be alright. We all have each other's backs. It's amazing to always know that.

Thank you for all of the laughs.

Whether it's from something that happened in a group chat, during the meetings, something in our lives outside of work, something that happens on break, or something that happens while we're on the clock, you all never fail to put a smile on my face and make me laugh. We have developed so many inside jokes through the past months (and years for some people), and it really makes work that much more tolerable.

Thank you for making work tolerable.

Giphy

When work is insanely busy, insanely slow, or insanely boring, you all know how to make it more tolerable. Being able to talk to everyone and joke around with everyone on the job actually makes me excited to go to work every weekend. As much as I say how much I want to go home, I wouldn't want to go through five hours of work with any other group of people.

Thank you for becoming my second family.

If you're still there or if you've left already, we're all still a second family. We've all become so close over the past months, and I wouldn't want to work with anyone else. No matter what, we always have someone to talk to, no matter what section we're in during the shift. We're always there for each other when we need it, we always know how to make each other laugh, and you actually make going to work not as bad. We never feel like we're alone.

Thank you all for everything at work. I couldn't ask for better coworkers. I appreciate all of you.

Love,

Christina

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?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
