Why Work Friends Are Your Best Friends

There is no one else I would rather go through a miserable night at work with!

Why Work Friends Are Your Best Friends
Jenia Scalzi

When it comes to getting a job, most kids are not very thrilled. The thought of giving up their freedom and their social life just might be the most unappealing thing. But although it may not be a fun job, getting one helps motivate us to work hard and to develop a work ethic. The one major thing that you learn from work is that you develop relationships that will last forever.

Work friends make work a heck of a lot less miserable. When you have those days at work where it seems like you just can't get a break, don't feel too bad. Because everyone else feels the same exact way. They are always really awesome about picking up your slack especially when you feel like you just want to cry. They will always have your back, no matter what and they will be the first ones to defend you, whether its from a manager or a customer! (Rachel)

Although you guys grew up separately and may have went to different schools, there is nothing that beats your gossip sessions. It's very crazy to think that the people that were complete strangers a year ago, are now your best friends. I would not trade my work family for anything, they are the only ones who understand when you're stressed at work and it's amazing that they are always willing to step in to help.

You guys basically become a family, and even though none of you are blood related, there is nothing you wouldn't do for them.

The lingo and the inside jokes are probably one of my favorite parts. "Oh no, Brandon's here again.." and "Shijapuh" And even though, no one else understands, you guys will always think its funny.

I love my work family more than words can describe, I have gained so many life long friends and I know that I can talk to them about anything, no matter what.

I love you, Airtime Sterling.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
