A Thank You To My Favorite Coworkers

I couldn't have ever survived the nine to five life without you!

A Thank You To My Favorite Coworkers

When it comes to your job, I truly believe the people you work with can make or break it for you. I mean you are spending the majority of your time with them after all.

Really though if you think about it, you see your coworkers all day long for most days of the week, and for most people that is usually more than they see their friends and family.

How much we have to work to make a living is absolutely insane if you ask me... but you just have to do it I guess, so let's get this bread, am I right?

I lucked out when it came to my most recent job. I had some of the best coworkers I have ever had, and now I truly consider them friends. Which is percisely why it made leaving the company so difficult.

I will definitely miss our daily lunch club, making fun of the boys, and helping to build each other up in the workplace.

The company was small with only about thirteen employees, nine of them being men, so us ladies really stuck together.

We also bonded over all of the dumb stuff the men would say and do, and honestly is there a better way to bond with your coworkers? We got daily entertainment by observing and analyzing the boys, and it was always commical.

When we weren't laughing about the guys though, we were working hard and helping each other grow. I was seriously so blessed to be surrounded by some of the most hardworking and dedicated women I have ever met.

Especially with being a recent college graduate, they really turned into some of my biggest role models and people I would love to be like in my career.

I will truly miss all of the laughs we had, bonding over The Office, and keeping each other updated on all of the recent news and scandals. I really wish I could pick up my job and take it with me in my next stage of life, but that's not how it works so I guess it's goodbye.

With coworkers like them, it will be hard to start over somewhere new. I know we will see each other again though and we can catch up on all the craziness that's gone down since I left. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being not only the best coworkers but some of my fondest friendships.

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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. 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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
