Where did all my money go?

20 Things You Think When You're In Your 20s
Judith Hadad Photography

1. Where did all my money go?

Anyone can relate to this, but when you're a twenty-something and you don't have a 'real' job and you aren't a 'real' adult... the struggle is extra real.

2. Ooh, man, I need some coffee.

What's a millennial without their accompanying latte in hand?

3. Ugh, bills. Mom, can you help me pay for this?

Let's be honest, we all want our parents to help us pay for things for as long as possible.

4. Time for (class/work)... why am I doing this to myself?

We all have to remind ourselves from time to time the reasons why we are going to school or work every single day. You gotta remember your end goal!

5. *looks at clock: 7:30 a.m.* ewwww it's too early...

... Especially after a late night binge-watching Netflix.

6. How do I do this? I should ask a grown-up. Oh... wait

.

How weird is it that we're the grown-ups? We don't know what's going on??

7. I'm so tired... time for some coffee.

For when you hit that 3 p.m. slump. If you haven't acquired a taste for coffee at this point in your life, you should acknowledge and accept the fact that the need for caffeine will only increase with age. You better figure something out.

8. Finally home! Time to watch Netflix...

*Clicking through* "seen it... seen it... ooh, another Netflix Original?"

9. *gets a thousand emails from Turbo Tax* How do I do my taxes?

Does anyone really know??

10. I wanna get a dog. Could I take care of a dog?

When was the last time you showered? Have you eaten anything healthy today? How long has it been since you’ve done your laundry?

11. I wonder what's on Instagram today...

We just want to look at pictures of other people's beautiful lives, alright? Don't judge us.

12. *Checks bank account* $16?! Where did all my money go?

Let's be honest... you know you've spent a fair amount of your paycheck on all those $5 lattes.

13. I've already had four cups of coffee today... what's one more?

Back to back classes? Late night shifts? Trying to have a social life? Trying to enjoy being young while also trying to be a professional adult that earns enough money to travel? Yep, we all feel that.

14. I wanna go to Europe. And South America. And to California. And I wanna see the Grand Canyon. And I wanna go to a music festival. And go on adventures. I need money.

Relatable.

15. Time to track my Amazon package.

Arrived? That's a great feeling.

16. Ooh, what a cool wall mural! I need a picture.

If it isn't on Instagram...did it even happen?

17. Ooh, I just got a text! Oh, it's from my dentist.

Of course it is. You see your dentist as often as you see most of your family.

18. *Opens fridge* I'm so hungry... there's no food. I should really go grocery shopping...

Let's be honest, you're just gonna order a pizza again instead of cooking.

19. $2 Margs tonight! Let's get lit!

The only kind of splurging you can afford.

20. What's the wifi password?

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
