15 Things I Really Don't Need

But made sure I bought.

15 Things I Really Don't Need

At the end of every summer, I stare at my bank account in shock wondering how every dollar I spent my summer earning is exactly that -- spent.

I go through my bank statements and justify every single dollar I spent. Until I sit there looking at a list of a million things I convinced myself I really needed.

1. Sorority Shirts

Am I lying to myself every time I say I’ll wear it after graduation? No I totally will. Not four years, for life, am I right?

2. A venti Starbucks every morning

What is so awful about a grande? I mean besides everything.

3. Five pairs of white sneakers

But my Converse are different from my Adidas which aren’t at all like my Nikes, right?

4. Concert T-Shirts

If you watched my snap story you know I went to the Bieber concert. Do I really need two t-shirts and a sweater?? Mhmm.

5. Throw pillows

They make all the difference on the bed and that’s a fact.

6. A million kinds of pimple creams

But they’re all so different. This one moisturizes and this one dries so naturally, I need both because I might suddenly develop acne overnight.

7. Black leggings

If the other hundred pairs I’ve bought are all dirty, I'll totally need this spare.

8. Lip gloss and Lipsticks

Do I wear them? No. Am I the first person online as soon as Kylie releases a new kit? Hell yes.

9. High Heels

They’re so pretty and look amazing in my closet and maybe I'll go to a wedding or something since every Pepperdine student is engaged.

10. Apps

I know I won’t be playing this game in two weeks but right now I totally need 3000 extra lives and they only cost $99.99 so it’s a steal. Plus a Kimoji is the only acceptable response to any text ever.

11. Shipping costs

Would it be cheaper to shop in the actual store? Yes. Is it worth it to put on pants? No.

12. Uber

I could walk, but no, thank you, I’ll pay this guy to drive me 3 miles.

13. Phone cases

Safety first!!!!!

14. Workout classes and gym memberships

Apparently I'm won’t turn into a Victoria's Secret angel overnight so I should definitely buy 100 classes and 5 year gym membership that I won’t use.

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.

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.
