The Pros And Cons Of Having Food Delivered Directly To You
postmates, favor, orderup

In a world where everything can be delivered at the press of a button, this pleasure does not stop with your favorite restaurants. While you may be sitting in the library studying for hours on end, laying in bed sick as a dog, or just too busy (or lazy, let's be honest) to get out of the house, your favorite food can be delivered with little to no effort required by you. Thanks to delivery services such as Favor, OrderUp, Postmates, Greedi, Door Dash and too many more to mention, this industry is quickly making its mark on the world. These companies have targeted markets of college campuses and major cities, hitting the ground running and building up popularity. As someone who worked for one of these services and was also a customer, I have knowledge of both sides of the system. Thanks to these services, it seems as though our already lazy nation has upgraded to a whole new level of lazy.

While there are pros and cons of the services, it seems as though we are willing to pay more in order to spend less energy.

Pros:

1. You don't have to get out of your pajamas.

2. Save on gas money.

3. Have food delivered during a hardcore study session.

4. You can have anything delivered if you're not in a steady state of mind to operate a car.

5. Many companies offer promotions and give you a promo code to share so you can save money in some instances.

6. You can get food if you're just too lazy to leave the house.

Cons:

1. The up-charge on your food.

2. Sometimes there are more orders than drivers so you could be waiting longer than it would take to get it yourself.

3. The driver may get your order wrong.

4. Warning: You may become addicted to this luxury.

In the grand scheme of things, the pros outweigh the cons and we're soon going to be consumed by having everything we need delivered. In college, more and more students are willing to spend more money in order to spend less energy, exactly what the industry is targeted towards. While we understand the system of it, these are the kind of services we've been waiting years for. In a world of lazy people, the food delivery industry has expanded to cater specifically to our desires.

All I have left to say is God Bless Our Lazy Nation.

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.
