Why Work Friends are the Best Friends

Only they can understand the pain of 8 hours in that building.

Why Work Friends are the Best Friends

Coworkers can be the best people or the worst people. When you're stuck in a closed space with them for 8+ hours 5 out of 7 days a week, you get to know them better than you probably want to. I am blessed to work with the people that I do and I am blessed to know as much about these people as I do.

I can honestly say that I am closer to these girls than I ever thought that I could possibly be to someone that I work with. The amazing thing about them is that they are always by my side no matter what. Whatever I need, whenever I need it, they're there for me. I can also go to them at any time of the day because I can guarantee that someone in the group in on their phone and can give me advice on whatever I need. Whether it be that I need someone to take my shift because something came up, or if I need advice on what necklace looks better with my outfit that day.

Even though at the moment we're all either away at college, busy with college or busy with jobs, we are all still there for each other and are just as close if not closer than we were this summer. That is the true measure of how good a friend is. The fact that this group of girls can be totally open and honest and can still be just as close when separated by distance as when we were all here together shows just how incredible these people are and how much we all truly love each other.

Work friends are amazing because they are the only ones that truly understand what's going on at work and the reasons that you're stressed. You can go to them and start venting about "that one customer" or "I hate that job!" and they know exactly where you're coming from. I love my friends that aren't from work but they just don't quite get the work aspect of my life. Even though the majority of my work friends are away at college right now, I know they're only a text away if I have to vent to them about the schedule or how crazy college is right now (I love cramming everything into the last few weeks of the semester).

These girls are very special to me and they know that already, but I'm just reiterating that fact, plus they all wanted me to write something about them (Happy Tori?) I love them with all of my heart and I especially love the special bond that we have and spending time with these amazing girls. I'll see you all soon over break, love you lots!

Seriously, who wouldn't love pizza?

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

Why I Love Being Single (And You Should, Too)

Dedicated to February 14

Truman State University
24436
sex and the city
Warner Bros. Television

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.

15 Ridiculous Things College Made Me Do (Part Two)

When you are on your own and tired, things happen.

If you haven't read the first part of this, I would highly suggest to, specifically because the Public Service Announcement placed in the beginning of that article still applies. If you don't feel like reading part one, I will try to cover it quickly. Basically, long story short, I am a pretty boring person and lead a pretty ordinary life. Due to this, please do not expect for the things I consider ridiculous to be what others may deem it. I promise that each of these I have done with a complete sane, mildly bored, brain. With all of this being said, please enjoy the semi-absurd things I have been lead to do in the second semester of my freshman year at college.
