5 Ways My Coworkers Make Work Worthwhile
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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
