A List Of Things I Could Actually Put On My Resume

It's like John Mayer said: "I'm so sad of getting older. I'm only good at being young."

A List Of Things I Could Actually Put On My Resume
Huffington Post

Oh, senior spring. A time full of more unwanted panic attacks, reminders of graduation, and looming fear that will just not quit. You're trying your hardest to avoid the all too fast approaching graduation date, while enjoying every last second you have in the bubble that was the last four years. In the midst of all that, is the job search, grad school applications, and just plain trying to get your shit together, which I'm all but convinced is impossible. As you pore over your resume, and your lack of experience for virtually every single job you've applied for, you begin to wonder what exactly you've done for the past four years, and how you've acquired essentially zero marketable skills. Well, I am here to say you've done a lot more than you think, and if we were all honest on our resumes about what we've done over the last four years, they'd read a little something like this.

1. Successfully snooze/sleep through alarms/classes/all responsibilities

2. Prioritizes getting coffee over getting to class on time

3. Advanced multi-tasking: online shopping while watching Netflix with the subtitles while sitting in class

4. Ability to finish all seven seasons of Shameless in under a month*

(*also all 10 seasons of Friends over winter break-- talk about SKILLS)

5. Experienced pregame playlist creator

6. Experienced road trip playlist creator

7. Experienced playlist creator

8. Ability to make a meal out of random (expired?) foods in fridge

9. Ability to fit 30+ beers in a mini fridge

(The ORGANIZATION people!)

10. Can function on minimal sleep

11. Can function with massive hangover

12. Can exist solely off of caffeine, French fries, and chocolate for extended periods of time

13. Ability to sleep until 3 PM

14. Ability to do nothing at all on a Sunday but scroll social media, until 9 PM when you remember all of your responsibilities

15. Prioritizes work for one class by skipping another class

16. Prioritizes just about anything else by skipping class

17. Exceptional creativity with Instagram captions

18. Experienced in posting funny/relatable Tweets

19. Ability to capture the best moments via Snapchat story

20. Ability to always make it back home after a night out

(PHENOMENAL (drunk) directional skills!)

21. Overestimates how much alcohol is too much

(Since when is confidence a bad thing?)

22. Calculated just how long it takes pizza to be delivered at any time of day

23. Mastered the exact number of minutes it takes to get ready in the morning-- leaving no room for error

24. Can successfully drink oneself a sweater

(20 degrees? NBD.)

25. Ability to memorize five chapters of anything and promptly forget it in less than 24 hours

26. Ability to ignore growing laundry pile

27. Experienced in spending money on things you absolutely don't need

28. Motivated by the prospect of anything free

29. Can successfully avoid any and every potentially awkward encounter

30. Professional college student

Because that's a skill, right?

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
