My perfect niche.

10 Things I'm Good At That Won't Help Me Get A Job

As a college student, I am constantly searching for internships, part-time jobs to get me by and careers for when that dreaded day comes that I'm finally kicked out into the real world. I must say I have a pretty decent resume at this point in time. However, I almost feel like it could be even better should I choose to add a few of my "special" qualities to my list of skills. Everyone has that perfect niche that sets them apart from other candidates during the hiring process, so why not add a few of the skills below to my resume to set myself apart from my competition?

1. Name That Tune.

Similar to Google, I have a pretty large directory of song lyrics and melodies buried in the back of my mind.

2. Speaking in Pig Latin.

Ore Ma Mpressive Ia Han Ta Peaking Sa Panish Sa, M Aa I Ight Ra?! (Google For Translation)

3. Making A Bridge With A Deck of Cards.

This might be the only physical display of talent I will ever be able to show anyone, so I will forever continue bragging about this one.

4. Reciting Movies Quotes.

Sure, they are all usually from movies that no one but my friends and I have ever heard of but it's still hilarious to us, okay? You can't sit with us!

5. Directions.

I can drive somewhere just once and remember it the next without a GPS or handheld map. I get this one from my Daddy.

6. Beer Pong.

"SWISH" is all I have to say about this one. (Also, I'm pretty good at drinking beer)

7. Knowing Everything There Is To Know About The Kardashians/Jenners.

If you ever have any questions regarding the lives of Kris, Caitlyn, Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, Rob, Kendall, Kylie, Kanye, North, Saint, Scott, Mason, Penelope or Reign, shoot me a message.

8. Laying In Bed All Day Without Getting Bed Sores.

As I was looking for inspiration for this list, my roommate piped up with this skill that I seem to have and I can't say I disagree with her. I've mastered the art of watching full seasons of shows on Netflix and not having to move from my bed for hours upon hours.

9. Making The Perfect Playlist For Whatever Occasion.

Whether it be for a party, my morning run, my shower or my long drives back to school from my hometown, I'm always able to find the perfect mood music.

10. Tubing On The Lake.

I pride myself on being a good tuber considering its the closest thing to bull-riding that a water sport can come to. I can stay on for a whole minute without flipping off!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
