11 Things The Perpetually Late Can Relate To

As much as I try to be right on time for various events, I can't help but find myself running late. Whether it is meeting up with a friend for lunch or picking someone up, I am constantly in a state of five minutes late. A friend from home has coined this as "Caitlyn time" meaning that if we make plans for 5:30, she expects me at 5:40. I always challenge myself to actually get there on the time we agreed upon. Although I find myself late for meet-ups with friends constantly, I am always five minutes early for important things such as class, job interviews, work, and meetings with professors. I can never find the balance between being early and being late.

1. When you are "on your way" you are most definitely not on your way.

Realistically speaking, you are probably just beginning to put on your makeup.

2. You are extremely good at coming up with excuses as to why you are late.

3. When you go out with friends, they tell you to meet at 7:15 when they are really meeting at 7:30 because they assume you are going to be late.

4. Your friends are actually surprised when you show up at 7:15.

5. You have tried changing the clock in your car to run fast, but it rarely, if ever, works.

6. You set multiple alarms to ensure that you wake up on time.

7. You always seem to think that you can get ready in 10 minutes or less, but it never works out and leaves you scrambling last minute.

8. When you actually show up on time, your friends are super proud of you.

9. The times you are actually on time until traffic happens are the absolute worst.

10. Queen Clarice is your spirit animal.

11. You always think that you have more time than you actually do.

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.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
