5 Reasons I'm Broke

I could probably think of a lot more, but these are the top 5 that affect me on a daily basis.

5 Reasons I'm Broke

Reason #1: Food.

Food is the number one reason I am broke. I can’t deny my friends when they ask if I want to go out to eat!! A chance to eat real food instead of the dining hall? Sign me up, I don’t care if its a restaurant or fast food, but it’s hurting my bank account greatly. Heidi’s, the all amazing sandwich place, or going to find a new restaurant in Old Port, there’s no way to deny a nice meal out.

Reason #2: Clothing.

Clothing..every girl’s weakness. Every time I make a trip to the mall I have to buy something, whether it be a shirt from Forever 21 or a pair of $50 jeans from American Eagle, I can’t resist. It is impossible for me to go to the mall and not buy something because I love clothes so much.

Reason #3: Textbooks.

Textbooks are ridiculously expensive, as we all know, but it’s not just a one time cost. Nope, twice a year! Because everyone has the money for that! But you got to get your education. Sometimes I don’t even use the textbook I was required to buy, so it was a waste of money in the first place.

Reason #4: Sports Gear.

Sports gear..I need it. Between a new helmet, sweatpants, t-shirts, and jackets, I am dropping major cash on sports gear to represent. I can’t get enough of sports gear, I love to represent my school, as well as brag about the fact that I play softball here, so I love to have all the gear possible.

Reason #5: Aroma Joes.

After my first trip to Aroma Joes, I was forever addicted. $4 for a single drink, that hurt my debit card, and of course it’s a nice 5 minute walk from campus! Blue Hawaiian Rush..a nice energy drink to wake me up in the morning before my 9:30 class, couldn’t ask for anything better, maybe cheaper! I’m not a fan of coffee, so when I found a drink that wakes me up I have to stick with it, and this is addicting, let me tell you.

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.
