10 Signs Your Coworkers Are Your BFFs
Kyndal Goss

If you've ever had a job, you know that you end up getting really close with the people you work with. Whether it's because you actually like them or because you're just stuck with them, it's inevitable that new friendships will surface. Personally, I have always liked my coworkers and have made some great friendships in the workplace. Here are some signs that your coworkers may be some of your best friends, as told by Leslie Knope.

1. You can never stay mad at them.

Sometimes things can happen at work that get frustrating. Maybe someone forgot to refill the stapler or left an empty bottle of white-out on the desk, but you love them too much to freak out.

2. Work is so much better when they get there.

And if one of your coworkers is off or has a sick day, it really throws you off. While you may be too busy to say a word to them, working in silence with them is better than working in silence alone.

3. You encourage each other throughout the day.

Sometimes time can go slow at work, but when your coworkers are there giving you encouragement, it's a little bit better.

4. You hang out outside of work.

Closing time could be your excuse to go home and not see any of them until the next day, but you like them enough to actually make plans with them that doesn't involve staplers, copy machines or white-out.

5. You don't know what to do with yourself if they get off before you.

It's the worst. You hate seeing them leave you and wonder what in the world you'll do now?

6. An office lock-in doesn't sound so bad.

Being in an office all night with people you don't like would be horrible, but with my coworkers? Let's do it.

7. You give each other compliments.

8. They've seen you at your worst, and they're still friends with you.

Sometimes things can get a little stressful at work, and they've probably seen your "bad side," but they still like you.

9. You bring each other food.

If one of your coworkers has brought you food before, then it's real.

10. You like your job more because of the people you're with.

Someone once told me that you meet some of your closest friends at work, and I didn't believe that until I started working. I am very lucky to have some of the best coworkers!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
