10 Things We All Wish We Could Get Paid For This Summer INSTEAD Of Having A Real Job
Isabel Barganier

Summer is amazing. It's the height of luxury and relaxation, right? No classes, no assignments, no exams... Without school controlling your entire week, life can be a bit boring. For most people, including me, a summer job is necessary, not just for making extra money but for keeping you busy!

Unfortunately, finding a summer job can be really... really tough. It's hard to find a place that you want to work and it's also difficult to find an employer that wants to hire you for two (ish) months.

Here are 10 things that I definitely will not be compensated for this summer, but wish that I could!

1. Walking aimlessly around Target and finding 18 things that I didn't know I needed... but totally do.

Multivitamin gummies? A new water bottle? Greek yogurt? A sundress? A new flavor of gum? Yes, please!!! Who knew I needed $100 worth of stuff!

2. Watching Kathie Lee and Hoda having a blast and drinking wine at 10 a.m. on the Today Show.

Staring at the screen longingly. Laughing with them. Learning about John Cena's love life.

3. Getting along with my mom.

I'm sorry mom, you know it's true. This is not always an easy task, but my skills are improving every day.

4. Trying on last summer's bikinis.

This takes a lot of deep breaths, bravery, and pep talks.

5. Posting pictures of my food on Instagram.

This not only requires aesthetically pleasing food but also good lighting, good angles, a steady hand to capture that perfect #foodiegoals pic.

6. Staying up late for no reason.

This is a bad habit of mine that would definitely be better with compensation. I’ll be rubbing my eyes with my body begging for sleep, as I click on the next episode of The Office that I’ve already seen 8 times.

7. Eating a pint of Halo Top.

8. Making it to the gym.

The reason I include this is that I love it, but it takes a lot of mental and physical strength. I want to exercise because I want to feel better about myself... but I also have a hard time doing it when I can just wear a sweatshirt and stay inside.

9. Stalking Chrissy Teigen's Twitter.

Everyone knows Chrissy is a true goddess. I often think she is too good for this world. If you don't, check her twitter and you'll see for yourself. I aspire to be her. And I continually wonder what her job title is... because I want that job.

10. Watching re-runs of "The Office."

Someone's gotta do it.

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.

Power of Love Letters

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.
