6 Reasons To NOT Date A Co-Worker

Sometimes people develop feelings for a co-worker of theirs. Although it may make working more fun, it’s a bad idea. Unless it’s someone you’re serious about it, it’s a poor choice to make. It’ll be a waste of time unless you want him putting a ring on it in 4-7 years. Look no further: 6. Having to look cute every shift. Who wants to curl their hair to go to the dreadful place we call work? Or have to put a whole face of make-up on? You’re just working at a fast causal food place or an office desk and then on top of that have to wear an ugly uniform or dress clothes everyday? But you got to do it because you know he will be there. Whether you and your dude are in the beginning stages of flirting or in the honeymoon phase of actually being boyfriend and

Why I’m Thankful for College Roommates But Never Want to Share a Room Again

I’ve had 3 roommates in 2 years. One was someone random freshman year, and the other 2 were friends I chose to live with sophomore year, one per semester. I came to see that whether you’re living with a stranger or best friends, you will have disagreements. What’s most important about those disagreements is that you cannot let it ruin your friendships because you can always change where you live, but losing a friend or even making an enemy is much harder to reverse. It’s hard to transition from family you can really mess with to someone who you probably don’t want to offend as much. Family is always family, but roommates…can spit on your toothbrush or set your clothes on fire without batting an eye (I’ve heard stories, okay).

Before you graduate as a student of this wonderful university, here are some things I highly suggest you do to get the full experience. 23. Attend a basketball game as a member of the Oakland Zoo – come on, it’s one of the best student sections in the nation. You’ll want to say you were a part of it one day, trust me. Plus, games are only $5 each for students. 22. Sleepover in the Pete for basketball games – come on, we can try and be like Duke (who camp out for months for basketball games)…except we’re inside so that’s quite nice. 21.

Take something in a Tupperware out of Market Central. Or multiple

A Letter to My Older Sibling

Dear Older Sibling, Every once in a while I’ll find myself watching a movie and there’ll be an annoying younger sibling. So being the youngest sibling it made me wonder if I was ever that annoying. I’m sure I was, but I only did it because I look up to you. You taught me most of the things I know – even if you don’t know it. I watched every move you made – not in a creepy way but in the way someone looks up to someone they admire. You’re not that much older than me, but there’s still enough of an age gap that I was able to watch you navigate through life and realize what I should and shouldn’t do. You helped me figure out my mistakes before I made them. You still let me make my own mistakes, because that’s the best way to learn, but you
