5 Reasons Why I Love Working in an Office

Yesterday marked 2 weeks of me working at my summer job in an office and so far I've loved working in an office. Maybe it's just that the one I work in is great (it is), but it's made me wonder if I might like to work in an office in the future... Without further ado, here are a few reasons why I love offices.

1) The Stationary - I'm a bit of a stationary addict I'll admit. I love coloured planners, post it notes, to do lists, anything that's highlighted - they're kinda my thing. An office is a place where it makes me feel organised and motivated, instead of silly and a procrastinator.

2) The Dress - I love that I can dress smartly at work, it's such a nice change from the typical uni dress code! It's crazy how amazing doing my hair and makeup properly makes me feel! 

3) The Constant Coffee - Working on the phones constantly gives me a great opportunity to drink lots of coffee to keep passionate and engaging!

4) Getting to Chat to People All Day - I guess this is probably just due to the phones and being in an office full of other bubbly people, but I love that it's rare that I'm not talking to someone!

5) Being part of a Team - I love that everyone in the office, regardless of their job or department is working towards the same goals and that in my department I have people there that I can encourage and also be encouraged by.

So to sum it up, I love offices. Can you tell?

First-year Thankyous - Beware, mush awaits you!

Yesterday I officially became a tenant of a house and I am so darn excited! Maybe it's the new house contract, or maybe it's just that time of year, but either way I'm feeling a bit mushed up and nostalgic. Prepare the sick bucket guys... Here's my thank you to just a few groups of people who have made my first year at uni awesome!

The Future Housemates

I'm honestly not sure if I would have survived this year without this lovely bunch and I cannot wait to live with them next year. Thank you Ryan for giving the best advice and for being awesome fun to hang out with. Thank you Meera for being the kind of person who cheers up everyones day instantly by laughing and smiling all the time! Thank you Reesha for always being honest with me when you know I need to hear it, and for giving me an excuse to sing along to cheesy pop like 1D and Nicki Minaj. Thank you Georgina for being the kind of person I can always talk to about stuff, for being my German buddy and for helping me out with Dutch! And finally Tom, for being the kind of person I can talk to about anything, for encouraging me to go for the things I want to achieve and for your awesome dinosaur impersonation!

The German Lot

Thank you for being so much fun on nights out, for all the laughs, and for being the kind of people you always feel you can talk to and depend on. Thank you girls for the fun girly chats and movie nights, and thank you to the guys for being such a good laugh to have around! Ich habe für sie Liebe.

The Church Crew

I cannot thank my friends at church enough. Thank you to my mid-week core group for making me feel like a part of the church family and for being there for me through thick and thin. It makes me so happy to know I have such an awesome group of people to laugh and cry with. Thank you to the other students for being such a laugh and fun to hang out with. A special shout out goes to Hannah for the constant lifts to things, and to both Hannah and Marilyn for being people I can confide in and trust with anything and everything!

There are so many others that I totally don't have space to write about, but they're also very awesome and I love them. I just thought these 3 groups needed a special mention!
