Why Coworkers Make The Best Friends

For most, the people that you meet at your minimum wage job will probably become some of your best friends. Here are a few reasons that explain this theory.

1. You are together all the time

Especially if it's during the summer or the holidays, you are probably going to be working a lot, with the same people every shift. The more you see someone the more likely you are to strike up conversation and form an everlasting bond.

2. You always have something to talk about

If there is anything I know to be true it's that people love to talk about work, and there is no one better to do that with than your coworkers. Whether it's the new hire, a crazy customer story or more dramatic work gossip, you will never run out of things to say to your coworkers.

3. They understand your struggles

You and your coworkers are in it together. If customers trash the store, you have to clean it together. If your boss is in a bad mood and takes it out on the employees, you have each other for moral support. These experiences bring people closer.

It is a scientific fact that you will become friends with some of your coworkers. Soon you'll start hanging out outside of work and even when you part ways to move onto bigger and better things you'll still find ways to keep in touch. Some of the experiences you've had with your coworkers are unforgettable.

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.

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?
