Hidden Remote

Like most adults, I have to go to work every day and like everyone, I dread going to work. The thought of it just makes exhausted, but I go to be able to pay my bills, buy groceries and gas, and be able to do fun stuff on my days off. The only thing that really motivates me to go to work are my coworkers (well besides money lol). They just make my day so much better and they make time pass so much faster. These are the ways they make work fun.

1. They have interesting conversations.

With my coworkers, I learn something new every day. Whether it is about what classes they are taking this semester or what hobby they are into now, we always have fun and interesting topics to talk about. We either end up being super intrigued or we just end up laughing about whatever we are talking about.

2. HOT GOSSIP.

We always get together and gossip about celebrities or people... and it is so much fun! We always get the juicy details of everything we saved for each other. We love trying to figure who's dating and who's not. This helps pass the time faster because we get so caught up in doing research and finding out some more information.

3. We help each other out.

When times get tough, we always have each other's backs. I love how we all literally work as a team and help each other out. My favorite part is how none of us expect anything in return. Sometimes if one of us is weeded, the other will rush and help us out without being asked and I am so grateful for that because I have never worked in a place where the coworkers actually work together.

4. We get frustrated at the same things.

When it comes to working at a restaurant, there are a lot of things that can make us frustrated. Number one on the list is the customers - they easily push our buttons and we all can relate to this. When we are frustrated, we are able to get everything off our chests by just talking to each other. A pair of listening ears can go so far and my coworkers make the best ones.

5. We take time creating secret menus.

Whenever it is slow at work or we are really hungry, we go through the menu and try to see what concoction we can make with the certain foods. It is also loads of fun because we are able to try the foods we have combined. Some of them are delicious, some of them are atrocious. But its OK, it is all good times.


Work sucks, but the employees there make it so much more worthwhile. They make me excited to go to work and I just love spending time with them. They are the best friends I didn't expect to meet. I can't ask for better coworkers and I don't even need to.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
