My Bank Account: A Weekly Saga

Monday:

9:00 a.m. -- It was a long weekend; maybe I should check my bank account.

9:05 a.m. -- Wait, $29.38? I could have sworn I had almost $100!

9:06 a.m. -- It’s OK. I get paid on Friday; well, my mom said she would give me money on Friday. I just have to get through the next four days.

10:30 a.m. -- I need coffee if I’m going to make it to both of my classes today. It’s only like $2, I can afford it. What am I, a peasant?

10:36 a.m. -- Wow, this line took so long! I deserve a nice drink. “Yes, I’ll have a venti iced chai tea latte with soy and two shots of espresso.”

10:37 a.m. -- $7.96? OK, more than I was expecting, but it will be so worth it.

12:30 p.m. -- I really don’t like what they are serving at the dining hall. Maybe I’ll grab a slice of pizza. No, I’ll just eat here.

5:45 p.m. -- I hate the dinner, too! I hate this! Life would be so easy if I were rich.

11 p.m. -- Just one Insomnia cookie is less than $3 with tip. I won’t spend any money the next two days.

Tuesday:

10:03 a.m. -- I guess I’ll just have to make coffee in my Keurig today. These pods are so expensive; it’s way more affordable to buy coffee. Wait I have no milk. I guess I’ll have to drink it black.

10:06 a.m. -- This is the worst coffee ever. I’m going to Dunkin' Donuts.

10:45 a.m. -- (Takes sip.) Yes! This French vanilla swirl just speaks to me. And it was only $3.21!

9:20 p.m. -- (Checks account.) I am really proud of myself, today. I still have $15.31.

Wednesday:

11:16 a.m. -- I over slept! On the bright side, I don’t have time to get coffee. That means I’ll have money for bar cover.

3:35 p.m. -- I’ve been having such a stressful week; I need to do some online shopping. Wait I have no money. I’ll just put it in my shopping cart and buy it this weekend.

5:10 p.m. -- (Checks cart.) This is totally reasonable! I mean, this nail polish is on sale. It’s only $3.99, plus shipping. I totally deserve it, and it would make me feel so much better.

5:15 p.m. -- That was so worth it. I really needed a deep red nail color. It’s such a good investment.

6:30 p.m. -- My roommates want to get dinner downtown tonight. I want to go, but I guess I’ll have to skip this one and eat at the dining hall.

8:20 p.m. -- (Roommates return from the dinner.) I have to be better with my money. I don’t want to miss things like this anymore.

Thursday:

9:00 a.m. -- (Alarm rings.) I only have to survive one more day! This is a piece of cake.

11:32 a.m. -- Class started two minutes ago and I am already falling asleep. I should have bought coffee. After this class. No, I need money for the bar.

11:45 a.m. -- (Checks account.) OK, I have $9.32. I can buy a small coffee and still have money for cover.

12:15 p.m. -- Sweet sanity! This coffee is so worth it!

8:30 p.m. -- It’s time to get ready and treat myself to a night out.

10:30 p.m. -- Jaime paid for my cover and I'm going to Venmo her the $3.

Friday:

1:23 a.m. -- When I wake up in the morning I’ll be rich!

8:40 a.m. -- OK, no money transferred yet. I’ll go back to sleep for a few hours.

12:03 p.m. -- What is taking my mom so long? She said noon!

12:07 p.m. -- (Notification of transfer.) She was really making me nervous there.

12:09 p.m. -- Hey, big spender! I have $103.10. I am going to spend only what I need to survive this week, the bare minimum.

6:00 p.m. -- I’m going to order sushi for dinner. I mean, why not? I have the money. I’ll only get the basic rolls, though. Because, I’m responsible with my money.

6:09 p.m. -- (Gets receipt.) Well, $19.12 is a little more than I thought it would be, but quality over quantity, right?

11:15 p.m. -- (Hands card to bartender.) “Keep the tab open.”

Saturday:

10:56 a.m. -- Where is my debit card?

11:00 a.m. -- (Calls bar.) Mystery solved. I left it at the bar last night. No worries, I’ll just go grab it now.

11:24 a.m. -- (Looks at receipt.) Wait, $36? What did I buy last night?

11:45 a.m. -- This whole thing really made me hungry. I’ll get a bagel and some coffee.

7:00 p.m. -- I know I spent a lot of money last night, but I need to eat dinner. I’ll order a sandwich.

9:30 p.m. -- (Applying makeup.) “Gabby, don’t let me spend any money tonight."

11:30 p.m. -- OK, just one drink.

Sunday:

9:34 a.m. -- (Wake up.) What did I do last night?

9:35 a.m. -- I said I wouldn’t spend any money last night, but I know I bought one drink. I don’t think I bought any more than that.

9:42 a.m. -- Maybe I should check my account, just in case.

9:43 a.m. -- (Checks account.) What, $20.98?

9:44 a.m. -- How did I do this again?

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.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.
