Ode to Fakler

Fakler is a maverick. Not only do we make quite the dancing pair (just ask A.King or Luke), but I've decided she's my AIESEC spouse. Here's how I figure.

On Monday, CNN released an article about how some people have "work spouses". I am going to expand it further. I have an AIESEC spouse. And it's Fakler. You can read the original, but here's my adjustment to describe me and Fakler's loving AIESEC relationship.

1. I depend on Fakler for office supplies, snacks and aspirin.

2. There are inside jokes that Fakler and I share. And we tend to awkwardly giggle about them at GMs and EB much to everyone's confusion.

3. I can be bluntly honest with Fakler about her appearance, hygiene or hair (and vice versa). You're comfortable enough to point out that Fakler's hair is sticking up -- or that she's wearing the same sweats at GM that she did last night at EB.

4. When something eventful happens in AIESEC, Fakler is the first person I text to gossip.

5. At breakfast, lunch and coffee breaks, Fakler knows what to order for me and how I like my coffee (and vice versa).

6. Fakler and I can finish each other's sentences. Better yet, we can read each other's minds.

7. Fakler knows almost as much about my personal life as my best friend does. False. She knows more.
