Open Letter to My Coworkers
@thatnursebert

All of you must understand the hate most people have for some of their coworkers. Maybe not hate, but definitely a strong dislike. You have seen the different Facebook memes about coworkers. Even though I have only been in the work force for four short years, I have finally experienced what it feels like to not hate your coworkers.

Although I have worked at many different places there has always been that one person that I just irritated me. I did not hate them, probably more disliked. I would not choose to work with them if that was how life worked. My first job was pretty close to perfect when it came to coworkers. I loved many of them, but it was a larger staff at some parts, and definitely required some adjustment. Well now about two years later I have come across a job I fell in love with. Not only did I begin to enjoy going to work, but I enjoyed working with anyone. It is a severely shorter staff than what I have previously worked with, but I could not describe the type of family I have found here. We are like the number dysfunctional family, manager, supervisor, and sales associates all. I have not only acquired six new friends, but they also became family members. It is funny and wnjoyable mixed with hard work to get what we need done. Although I know this jobs is most likely long term temporary as I get through college. I am more than estatic that I found this job to get me through these next 4-8 years of hard work and long nights of studying.

So here is an open letter about how much I am thankful for you ladies.

Thank you ladies for becoming my friends and my dysfunctional family. Thank you for covering my shifts, so I could stay up all day and night to finish my essay that I waited until the last minute to finish. Thank you for taking care of one another and most of all thank you for sharing your food (the way to my heart). Thank you for spending up to eight hours talking to me about pointless, serious, and just random things so the day would go by faster. Thank you for being the dream team of all dream teams and just in general being awesome. I have found a home that I love where everyone treats each other as equals, helps each other out, and even helps me with my college math homework! I have enjoyed every second of work (never heard that before).

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
