10 Things You Know to be True if Your Coworkers are Also Your Best Friends
HuffPost

Working with new people in a new job can be one of the scariest things on the planet, and in my case, starting my first job was one of the scariest things I've ever done. Of course I applied at a place where I knew some of the people and liked the environment, but the business from the inside and the outside are two totally different things. Meeting my new coworkers was the second scariest thing I've ever done. However, coworkers are the coolest people you'll ever meet, in my case, but here's 10 things you know to be true if your coworkers become your best friends.

1. You look forward going to work.

It feels weird letting a day go by not filling in your coworkers of what happened to you last night after your shift or showing them the funny video you saw on Facebook that reminded you of them.

2. If you're the youngest, you gain several more "parents".

They care about you, so they just want you do be the best and do your best, while you're still young and have your whole life ahead of you, they want to help you grow and be the best version of yourself.



3. Inside jokes.

Whether it's a nickname or jokes about customers or clients, there's something about everyone that can make you laugh.

4. You know their Starbucks order by heart.

One always gets a Treinta in everything, and the other gets a vanilla iced latte. Boom you could order in your sleep.

5. Lunch is basically family dinner.

Lunch break is a holy time and whether you pack from home or go to the new place next door that just opened, you always know who cares what they're eating and who's eating because they're hungry (guilty).

6. Going out with them is totally normal.

Some people hate the thought of spending extra time with the people they work with, but you can't get enough time with them.

7. There becomes a point where "coworker" isn't as appropriate as "friend".

You spend hours a day with these people and you learn a lot about each other and soon you're no longer strangers.

8. When they move on, they lose a part of you.

It's like losing a family member but on a less severe level, but it still sucks to know that work will be so different without just one of them.

9. You know everything about them.

Good and bad, you know everything about them, which is a blessing and a curse at the same time.

10. They're some of the best people you have ever met.

They've gotten to know you and changed your life all at the same time, even if it's at the slightest. You care about them and they care about you and you'd do anything for them and they'd do anything for you.

I feel bad for the people that hate their coworkers, because mine are some of them are the coolest and y'all are just missin' out.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
