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!

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.
