12 Things That Happen At The Nail Salon

There is truly better feeling than getting your nails done.

The nail salon is where girls (and even guys) go treat themselves. There is nothing like taking an hour or two out of the day. But sometimes, it can be a stressful time at the nail salon. Can you relate?

1. "Square or Round?"

One of the biggest decisions you have to make in your life.

2. Putting your feet in boiling hot water.

Shout out to the ladies that feel the water while filling up the little foot-tub.

3. Picking out a color...

ESPECIALLY under pressure when the nail lady is ready and waiting for you to sit down and you STILL can't decide.

4. Cringing when your cuticles are pushed too far back.

All I can say is, "ow."

5. Wondering halfway through the process if you chose the right color.

Second doubts are the worst. But it usually ends up working out in the end anyway.

6. Trying not to laugh or kick your nail technician during the ticklish- callous-scrubby part.

It all goes fine until he/she stops scrubbing my heel and scrubs towards the middle of the foot.

7. Hoping the technicians aren't talking about you.

I mean, what are the chances anyway? (Probably very high).

8. Being asked if you want a design.

And kindly saying, "no thank you" because you are way past the phase of a flower being painted on their big toe or ring finger.

9. Becoming best friends with your nail technician.

It's the kind of relationship guys have with their barbers. You will never trust anyone else with your nails or your life details. But that just goes to show you how often we go to the salon...

10. Having to pay before your nails are even done.

I understand why they ask but come on. In the middle of my relaxation time?!

11. But the satisfying feeling of getting your nails done.

Congratulations. You are now a changed person.

12. Getting acrylics on.

There is just something about long nails that make you start moving your hands in a different way, and you feel so empowered with a set of fierce nails, you know?

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.
