11 Ways My Life Has Had Absolutely Zero Chill Since Mercury Has Been In Retrograde

Starting on July 7th, Mercury has been in retrograde. If you know anything, you know that this means life is going to get a little crazy. This was multiplied by like 12,000 for me. It seems like since like July 7th life has been borderline unlivable. As a Leo, the stars seem to always have it out for me, but it took it to a whole new level. Here are just a few of the things I have had to go through thanks to this dumb rock moving weird.

1. Waking up like, at least 3 times a night

I don't think I have had more than like 5 good nights of sleep since the 7th, so I have been actually exhausted everyday, I can barely make it until my 2pm nap without dozing off.

2. My hair has been an absolute disaster

I have not been able to get my hair to look good in what feels like forever, but I did the math and it has actually only been since July 7th. Shocker. I mean, I got my haircut 2 months ago, and have even stopped shampooing and using any sort of product in it and it still looks greasy and flat. It is the actual worst.

3. My room has been soooooo messy

My room has been a pig-sty for weeks. Even when I take everything on the floor and push it into one corner, it still feels like a mess. There is just nothing I can do until Mercury gets its act together.

4. My friends keep canceling plans

I have had pretty big plans this summer, and usually they work out great, whenever I ask my friends if they want to get ice cream last minute they always say yes. But last week, I must have asked my friends if they wanted to go to Europe next month like TWICE, and it seems like nobody. is. down. It's like, why can't my life just be NORMAL.

6. My parents haven't been letting me do ANYTHING

So yesterday, I asked my mommy if I could go to Europe with some friends next month (hoping my friends might agree eventually), and she said no! Like, what? What the heck is my life even!!! She is absolutely insane, just let me LIVE.

7. My Airpods keep getting tangled in my pocket 

Need I say more?

8. My car keeps running out of gas. 

When I was away at school, I wouldn't have to full my car up for MONTHS, maybe like once or twice if I was home for a week. Now it's like, always empty. I keep having to stop by a gas station to put a dollars worth of gas in it and that will last me a day if I'm luck. WHAT IS MY LIFE.

9. I get hungry

So this thing has been happening to me recently where I will eat a fairly large meal, like a hard boiled egg or something like that. I should be full right, but every time I eat it's like 20 minutes later I feel the need to eat again. Granted, I am trying to lose a little weight, but I didn't know that that would require being mildly peckish for more than 5 minutes. Mercury, just move FOREWORDS already.

10. I broke both arms in my sleep

This art tickle took along thyme two right with voice-to-text not gun a lie ellipsis no type dot dot dot no ...

11. I didn't get a lot of tips at work once

I worked for like 3 straight hours at this golf course one day, like I always do, but I didn't get a lot of tips for some reason. AND on top of that it was pouring rain all day so I got wet when I walked to my car after they let me our early. Thanks MERCURY.

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.
