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

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).

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.
