Dear Future Employers,

My graduation date is approaching very quickly, so it’s time to apply for jobs. Here are 28 reasons you should consider me for this position:

1. If I Was An Employer, I’d Hire Me

I’m proud of who I am, and if you choose me, you would be proud of me too!

2. My Resume And Cover Letter Are Literally Only An Email Away

Imagine your company at the top of my resume. That sounds pretty great, doesn’t it?

3. Give A Recent College Grad A Chance

While I may not have three years of PR experience, I’m more than happy to learn!

4. I’m Honest

These are all my real skills. I promise.

5. I Don’t Know Everything, But I Will Figure It Out

I’m not afraid to admit that Google is my best friend (and look at me being honest about not knowing everything).

6. I’m Punctual

I’ve never been late for class. Even if I stood in the incredibly long line at Starbucks beforehand.

7. I Like Office Supplies

Need sticky notes? I already have 27 different color options.

8. I’ve Had Experience

Internships are EVERYTHING. And I have plenty of internship experience.

9. I Know The Difference Between Your and You’re

See any grammar mistakes in this article? I don’t think so.

10. I Like To Bake

Which basically means there will be lots of baked goods in the office.

11. I’m An Expert At Social Media

Being in a college organization has taught me all about how to get likes on any social media.

12. I’ve Never Worn Ripped Jeans To An Interview

BizCasual alllllll the way.

13. I'm Great With Microsoft Office.

Where do you think this article was written?

14. I’m An Animal Person.

Bring your pet to work day? I’m already ready.

15. My Mom Thinks You Should Hire Me.

And my mom wouldn’t lie. She secretly wants me to live at home.

16. I Don’t Drink Coffee, So I Never Have Coffee Breath

I see this as a plus.

17. There Are No Felonies On My Record

I see this as a bigger plus.

18. Laughed At My Last Point? Funny People Make Great Employees

Imagine all the laughs you’d have in the office with me around.

19. I’m Up To Date On Current Events

Did you hear about that thing that just happened? Yeah. I already knew about it.

20. I Can Speak Spanish

“Dame un trabajo, por favor.”

21. I Haven’t Cried All Semester

And if you remember college, then you know that’s a BIG accomplishment.

22. I Can Multitask

I can use Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter all at the same time (which for a Comm major, is a pretty great talent).

23. I Don’t Get Sick Often

I just got my flu shot.

24. I’m A Team Player

Two words: Group. Projects.

25. I Write In Complete Sentences

And they’re capitalized correctly too!

26. I Am Good With Confrontation

Have you ever seen a group message on the day a group project is due?

27. I’m Great With A Budget

I can walk out of Target without buying a thing.

28. I’m Creative

Obviously, because I made this list.

Well, I think that about covers it. Let me know when I start!

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.

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.
