17 Things That Automatically Happen When You Work With Your Best Friend
Kaitlin Pastor

Working with your best friend is like nothing you've ever experienced before.

You might think your friendship has seen it all, and you might think your friendship won’t change because of it. However, until you actually get to work with your other half, you will never quite understand how much of a blessing (and a curse) it is to see their faces every day.

Here are 17 things that happen when you work with your best friend:

1. Your coworkers and managers will get you confused.

2. It is inevitable that you show up wearing the same outfits at least once a week (most likely at least the same shoes or color schemes most days).

3. Customers and coworkers both will think you’re related.

4. If the other isn’t working, people will ask where she is and you will be able to look up her exact location and tell them down to the coordinates.

5. You will constantly wonder when you’ll get fired because the two of you definitely get distracted easier when you’re together.

6. But at the same time, you’ll work so well together you can finish both of your assigned duties in record time.

7. You share side work, opening work, and closing work.

8. Carpooling.

9. Even when you don’t carpool, you hop in each other’s cars before your shift starts to prepare yourselves for what’s ahead.

10. You get to make light of difficult customers together.

11. If they’re coming in to work after you, you have a built in coffee delivery pal.

12. On that same note, you have someone who can bring you coffee when you’re running a little late, or just don’t want to get out of bed in time.

13. Your coworkers will probably hate working with the two of you together.

14. There will be a “pre-work” playlist you listen to before your shifts.

15. The two of you will think you’re bringing entertainment to your coworkers, when probably you’re just annoying everyone (Are we really not as funny as we think we are?)

16. The work inside jokes mix with the growing up inside jokes which mix with the regular inside jokes...really you just joke a lot.

And lastly,

17. You realize how great it is working with your best friend, and you wouldn't have it any other way.

Working with your best friend can really be the greatest experience (or the worst, depending on the day).

From my own experience, I can only say I am so thankful I get to see her on a regular basis, and we have only grown closer from working together. Although, I'm sure our coworkers don't have as many positives to say about us. (Sorry to everyone who has to work with us).

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.
