Friends Make Work Better- Adult Edition

Friends at work make the corporate world a little bit better!

Friends Make Work Better- Adult Edition

I work at a newspaper.

I usually work 8-5.

WORK GETS FLIPPIN BORING.

Yes I enjoy my job, I enjoy it a lot. But when I first started, I knew 2 people in the town and that was it. I had 0 friends and had no idea how I was going to survive living in a tiny town with no friends.

Until I met some co workers.

You might think that only older people work at the newspaper. That is not true.

I work in the advertising and the newspaper department, When I first started I was invited out by one of the news girls to get drinks. I LOVED IT!

Eventually a few more girls got hired at the paper and we have formed a little girl gang.

We do everything together, EVERYTHING.

WE LITERALLY ONLY HAVE EACH OTHER IN THIS TINY TOWN.

We eat lunch together, we eat dinner together, we get drinks, carve pumpkins, got to national parks, hikes and the bowling alley together. There is no stopping us.

Here are some facts that I have lived through with these ladies.

1. They have your back.

THAT IS A FACT

We have been through so much together in the small amount of time that we have been friends. Whether it has to do with bosses, boys or landlords.

2. Vent Sessions.

WE VENT ALL THE TIME, LIKE PROBABLY WAY TOO MUCH

Any little thing annoys us, we know we are safe to rant,

We vent about boys, work, how hungry we are, how we decorated our apartment, how we don't wanna cook or go get gas after work. or go to the store. I meant it when I said everything.

3. Biggest Cheerleaders.

THAT'S A FACT JACK

We are always trying to cheer each other on in the work that we do!

4. GROUP MESSAGE

Yes, we are adults living on our own with an awesome group message. We can literally text anything and it will get a ridiculous convo going,

5. LASTLY, THEY HAVE TO BE YOUR CO WORKER BUT CHOOSE TO BE YOUR FRIEND

Yes, they are stuck with you at work but the fact that we all hang out outside of work on the weekly shows how special our friendship really is.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Kent State University
Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
