Audible Keeps My Hunger For Knowledge Alive

Open your ears.

"There are not enough hours in the day" is a saying you'll hear me say quite often. I'm that gal with the ambition to accomplish a hundred things in one day. Maybe a tad unrealistic, but some days I get pretty dang close to doing so! Other days, not so much...

When I do get a moment to myself, I find it extremely difficult to fit in reading. Because, let's be honest, once you get some downtime from a long day of work, all you wanna do is relax, eat, or sleep.

However, if you think about it, we are constantly listening. Why not optimize your downtime with Audible?

Audible has been my go-to for reading. I may not be actually reading, but I am still obtaining very useful information. What I enjoy most about audible is that I can take it anywhere with me.

You can take Audible with you on your daily commute to work. I know I spend at least an hour in my car going to and from work. If you do the math, that is basically an hour every day for 5 days a week. Think about how many books you can listen to in a matter of a month, let alone a year. That's a lot!

Nowadays, it's harder to dedicate the time to sit down and read. Audible allows you to multitask and fit reading into your schedule instead of you allocating time for it.

One of my favorite times to listen to Audible is at the gym. There's always a time to listen to music to get a good pump in or give you that adrenaline rush to push yourself past your limit. Yet, Audible is perfect to fit into your gym regimen. I listen to Audible when I'm doing cardio. Sure, I could easily be jamming out to Halsey's "Without Me" on loop or dedicating my time to my slightly unhealthy obsession of watching "Say Yes To The Dress," but I also have the option to listen to a self-help book on Audible that has the potential to impact my life tremendously.

I say give Audible a try. You'll realize how much easier it is to just pop your headphones in and listen to the soothing voice of an Audible narrator. If you're anything like me, you'll find yourself nodding to yourself in deep reflection, maybe a sigh of relief escapes past your lips because you feel reassured that you're not alone in your feelings, or you may be so enlightened by the information you've obtained that it becomes a conversation starter with others.

The bottom line is that we should always be striving to learn more. Education doesn't just stop. We must make a concerted effort to learn more about ourselves, our surroundings, the workforce, and more. This will ultimately enhance our performance in life. We may not have all the time in the world, but with Audible, we can fit in learning in places we'd least expect.

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.

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.
