I have worked my way through my entire college career finding jobs that worked around my school schedule, but this past semester I didn't. I took the semester off of work and decided to focus on my classes. For the past 3 weeks I have lived off of $7. If it wasn't for my grandma, I have no clue how I would have survived. Anytime I called crying about not having any money, she would hit me with that transfer into my bank account.

Now that classes are out, I had to go back to work. After three long weeks of working, I finally have reached payday. I would like to take this time to thank all those who helped me survive these past 20 weeks.

1) My Grandma

Any time I called her to tell her my gas light was on or I didn't have money to eat lunch, she would come to the rescue. Thank you for the countless gallons of gas.

2) Target

Whoever is in charge of raising limits on target Red Cards, thank you. Every time I was nearing my limit, a nice little letter in the mail would coming telling me my limit was raised. Then I would be able to purchase gift cards to Wendy's with my Red Card.

3) Wendy's

Thank you for including the Double Stack in the 4 for $4. In between classes, you'd catch me at Wendy's only spending $4 on a lunch (I probs got the $4 from my grandma).

4) Hunter and Kiah

Hunter, thank you for always having that BOGO coupon for shakes at Steak 'n' Shake, and always buying the shake so mine would be free. Thanks boo! Kiah, thank you for bringing me donuts and coffee to work when I was dying and broke. Don't know what I would do with out 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.
