Why Coworkers Make The Best Friends
Ronnie Jaymes

For most, the people that you meet at your minimum wage job will probably become some of your best friends. Here are a few reasons that explain this theory.

1. You are together all the time

Especially if it's during the summer or the holidays, you are probably going to be working a lot, with the same people every shift. The more you see someone the more likely you are to strike up conversation and form an everlasting bond.

2. You always have something to talk about

If there is anything I know to be true it's that people love to talk about work, and there is no one better to do that with than your coworkers. Whether it's the new hire, a crazy customer story or more dramatic work gossip, you will never run out of things to say to your coworkers.

3. They understand your struggles

You and your coworkers are in it together. If customers trash the store, you have to clean it together. If your boss is in a bad mood and takes it out on the employees, you have each other for moral support. These experiences bring people closer.

It is a scientific fact that you will become friends with some of your coworkers. Soon you'll start hanging out outside of work and even when you part ways to move onto bigger and better things you'll still find ways to keep in touch. Some of the experiences you've had with your coworkers are unforgettable.

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.
